Title: A stunning account of life at sea!
Product review: This book was a nerve-wracking rollick through the seas. The writing evoked both fear and seasicksickness as the seas became rougher! It spoke deeply of the quiet hurt of fishermen's wives, the devotion fisherman have to each other, their boats and the ocean, and the ever-present dangers of the sea-faring life. The author used an interesting technique whereby he had two stories going at once--the present going backward and the past going forward. It worked and neither narrative detracted from the other. There were some places in the narrative which needed to be reread in order to be more clearly understood. In addition, there were a few technical words relating to fishing and boating which might have interfered with the reading pleasure of someone not as knowledgeable about maritime life. Nevertheless, this was a story well told and worth reading.
