About This Book

A warm, comic portrait of three seafaring housemates and their coastal neighbors, following small-scale episodes and misunderstandings that bind the community. The narrative tracks domestic schemes, a matrimonial advertisement, the arrival of an electrician and other outsiders, debates over a liquor license, life-saving incidents, matchmaking efforts, local politics, and various comic mishaps. Vignettes alternate between kitchen talk and seaside action, using colloquial humor to examine friendship, obligation, and the routines of shore-town life.
