About This Book

A seaside comic yarn centers on a solitary lighthouse keeper whose uneasy friendship with a blunt newcomer and a circle of neighbors spawns quarrels, misunderstandings, and eventual reconciliations. Episodic incidents—a spat over duty, neighborhood gossip, a picnic, the arrival of a bungalow girl and her housekeeper, the role of a youth called Bennie D., and a small-boat voyage of the Daisy M.—play out against dunes, tides, and the town's faded harbor life. Character-driven humor and local color bind the vignettes into a lighthearted exploration of pride, companionship, and community foibles.
