"There is real life in Sarah Anne Johnson's new book, and genuine
family drama too, all grounded in an authoritative evocation of old
Cape Cod's waterways, marshes, and waterfront towns. The Last
Sailor is memorable, clearly seen, and deeply felt."—Jon Clinch,
author of Marley and Finn From the author of The Lightkeeper's Wife
comes a poignant and powerful historical novel about grief,
redemption, and brotherhood set on the shores of Cape Cod. Cape
Cod, 1898: All that Nathaniel Boyd wants is to be left alone. His
hopes of marriage died years ago, not long after the storms and the
seas and the sails took away his youngest brother. He'd rather be
in the marshes of Cape Cod, with their predictable rhythms and no
emotion. The Cape doesn't blame him for the accident. The other
Boyd brother, Finn, dives headlong into his fish trading company,
trying to prove something to himself. When their father asks the
brothers to sail a schooner down from Boston to their harbor
village, he didn't expect them to bring back a young girl fleeing
her home, much less a girl who slips off the boat and nearly
drowns. The Boyd men take Rachel to the nearest home to the
harbor—that of Nathaniel's first love, Meredith. As Rachel's
recovery brings Nathaniel back into Meredith's world, nothing will
be the same. And when their father dies and upends the world as
they know it, Finn spins into a violent rage. Nathaniel will be
forced to sail his own ship, taking command of his family and of
his future. For fans of Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris and
Lost Boy Found by Kirsten Alexander, The Last Sailor is the
painful, but hopeful story of two boys scarred by the loss of their
brother, and the men they know they must become.
