___________________ 'A wonderful first novel about life, love and
lobster fishing ... Stern Men is high entertainment' - USA Today
'Howlingly funny' - San Francisco Chronicle 'An impressive
achievement' - Observer 'A mix of Annie Proulx and John Irving ...
memorable and enjoyable' - The Times ___________________ On two
remote islands off the coast of Maine, the local lobstermen have
fought savagely for generations over the fishing rights to the
ocean waters between them. Young Ruth Thomas is born into this
feud, the daughter of one of the greediest lobstermen in Maine.
Eighteen years old, as smart as a whip, and irredeemably
unromantic, Ruth returns home from boarding school determined to
throw her education overboard and join the 'stern-men'. As the feud
escalates, she helps work the lobster boats, brushes up on her
profanity, and eventually falls for a handsome young lobsterman. A
funny, sparkling novel of unlikely friendships and family ties,
Stern Men captures a feisty American spirit through this
unforgettable heroine who is destined for greatness despite
herself. Stern Men was a New York Times Notable Book.
