by Linda Greenlaw
Remember the movie "The Perfect Storm"? Remember what a hard life
those fishermen had? Do you remember the one female swordfish-boat captain who gave a report on seeing the lost ship? Well, that was Linda Greenlaw - a real swordfish-boat captain. My goodness, has she lived a fascinating life!
She decided, after many years of swordfishing, to go back to the small island on which she was raised, and get into lobster catching (fishing? farming?) with her dad. Thus she launches into quite a lovely tale of hard work, family, crazy neighbors, going back home (can we ever, really?) and love for the life around her.
This is a fun book to read - easy on the brain, yet stimulating and wonderful. A great balm for a busy and crazy life.
