Synopsis

Author of the critically acclaimed book The Poet of Tolstoy Park (J0001), Sonny Brewer writes compelling Southern novels that resonate strongly with readers. When 80-year-old Rove MacNee sets about to tell his life's story, he begins a coming-of-age narrative taking place in the small gulf coast town of Fairhope, Alabama. The son of an alcoholic captain, Rove finds peace casting his fishing net into the sea-but soon he will face the crossroads of his life.

Goodreads review by Tommy on May 07, 2018

This is book is very average. The characters do not talk to each other the way people talk in real life. Very robotic. The book reads like someone TRYING to write a book instead of someone who has written a book.......more

A coming of age story in a dysfunctional family. It was ok, a bit drawn out with the decriptions of the settings but some might enjoy that.......more
