Red Right Returning: A Novel (Paperback)

Description

---

Published with the Island Institute

Set on a Penobscot Bay island, this sprawling new novel follows the lives of a dozen islanders and their families through tragedy, change, and triumph in a world that isn't as isolated as it once may have seemed.

Although the story begins just after World War II, it is remarkably current as it explores timeless island themes: the subtle tensions (and attractions) between islanders and summer people, the special dynamics of island life, the inevitable competition for lobsters, and how an island community adjusts to change.
