Title: Well done
Review: I was left feeling cheated and sad by this well written 2nd novel of Thayer's. However, I too found it so similar to George Eliot's Silas Marner, that I wondered how it was possible that Cynthia Thayer, or the publisher: St. Martin's Griffin, didn't make any mention of that anywhere. Still, I found this novel does justice to the harshness of living on the remote Maine coast, evoking sounds and sights, and even smells to mind that coincide with the mood of the main character - Peter. The deep sadness and strangeness of the characters, their awkwardness towards each other, their bonds, the caring for their neighbors, is all written of in true fashion.Btw: it is widely available at libraries, if you don't want to buy it or can't afford to.
