In the novel, Todd lives in the Annex behind the West Bluff. For those unfamiliar with the island,
Mackinac’s spectacular West Bluff sits to the west of the Grand Hotel.
Victorian-style summer cottages from the late 1880s
line the street that faces Lake Huron, the Lower Peninsula and the Mackinac Bridge.
As the ferry boats approach the island, the West Bluff immediately
catches the eyes of visitors. But it is hard to grasp the size
of these gems from the lake view. Referring to these multi-storied
summer homes as cottages is certainly an understatement.
