About This Book

An elderly woman comes to a small coastal village to take possession of a family property; her relative's unexpected arrival and a stormy night set off a series of comic mishaps — a wrecked depot-wagon, the arrival of seafaring neighbors, and improvised sheltering — that unfold through local gossip, practical problem-solving, and warm community interaction as kinship, secrets, and the demands of rural life are revealed.
