Thanks for reminding me of that book. I always intended to read it, then it slipped off my radar. I have actually been to the area you describe, not Ile au Haut, but North Haven. My first boyfriend's family had a home on the island. Life there must be similar to our little town of Wellfleet, since people with money have second homes here and lifestyles that are so different from those of lobstermen, or, in our case shellfishermen. .-= Alexandra hopes you will read blog ..Of Sandwiches and Recession … =-.

I've never been to Maine (can you believe that?) but a visit is high on my list. And of course I love lobster. Lobster ice cream and a visit to Acadia National park would suit me just fine. .-= Donna Hull hopes you will read blog ..Cruise in the Know With Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising =-.

The history of lobster fascinates me as it was once the “poor man’s steak.” Now it’s a delicacy. I also wouldn’t mind trying lobster ice cream.

I’ll have to let somebody else answer that, since I was inebriated on lobster, myself.

I love Maine. We spent summers there when I was a kid and it’s where we went on our honeymoon. I haven’t read this book, but I did read the cookbook she did with her mom and loved it.

When this California girl lived in Boston for a year, I ventured to Maine with my then boyfriend, now husband. We visited Booth Bay Harbor and ate lots of lobster.

Do they still have “blue laws” where it is against the law to buy alcohol on Sunday?

I've read the first book, too, and you make this one sound worth looking for. I have spent some time in Maine, and where I stay most in Ireland is a place where many work on the waters too, so always interesting to learn more of that. had to laugh at your description of greenlaw's marriage situation as it brought to mind a song from the irish tradition which tells story of a woman faced with a similiar problem. it's called johnny be fair. do you know of it? .-= Kerry Dexter hopes you will read blog ..Music of Maine: Lissa Schneckenburger =-.

Oh, once again you have made me desire to go to yet another place!! (Also, to run out and read another book)…I do so want to read this book and visit Maine. The East Coast fascinates me- I’ve only been to a couple states on that side and I enjoyed them immensely.
