Stern Men: A Novel
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Literature & Fiction

The "wonderful first novel about life, love, and lobster fishing" ( USA Today ) from the #1 bestselling author of Eat Pray Love , Big Magic and City of Girls Off the coast of Maine, Ruth Thomas is born into a feud fought for generations by two groups of local lobstermen over fishing rights for the waters that lie between their respective islands. At eighteen, she has returned from boarding school-smart as a whip, feisty, and irredeemably unromantic-determined to throw over her education and join the "stern men"working the lobster boats. Gilbert utterly captures the American spirit through an unforgettable heroine who is destined for greatness-and love-despite herself in this the critically acclaimed debut.
