Title: Review of Mason's Retreat by Christopher Tilghman
Product review: I grew up on the Delmarva Peninsula and enjoyed Christopher Tilghman's writing about the Chesapeake Bay, so I was interested in reading Mason's Retreat. However, the book was very sad and depressing. I did something that I rarely do - I did not finish the book because it was so depressing. While I thoroughly enjoyed the description of a sea voyage which happens at the beginning of the book and the descriptions of Chesapeake Bay life, I simply had no interest in reading an unrelentingly depressing novel about a failure of a man who managed to cause amazing suffering to his family and truth be told, everyone around him.
