The Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay - Beverly Jensen

Published posthumously through the efforts of Beverly Jensen's many
supporters, this widely acclaimed novel-in-stories offers a richly
textured portrait of a bygone era. In 1916, Idella and Avis Hillock
live on the edge of a chilly bluff in New Brunswick-a barren world of
potato farms and lobster traps, rough men, hard work, and baffling
beauty. From "Gone," the heartbreaking account of the crisis that
changed their lives forever, through "Wake," a darkly comic saga of
funeral plans gone awry, The Sisters from Hardscrabble Bay
beautifully charts the trajectory of the Hillocks' divergent lives
against the background of a lost slice of Americana.
