A magical novel about love and rivalry among the lobster pots.
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.
'A wonderful first novel about life, love and lobster fishing ... Stern Men is high entertainment'
USA Today
'A mix of Annie Proulx and John Irving ... memorable and enjoyable.'
The Times

San Francisco Chronicle
