5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating glimpse of a fading way of life,
By
This review is from: Hope for a Good Season (Paperback)
This book gives a wonderful look at what life is like and used to be on Harker's Island, a fishing community that is now being populated by weekend tourists and the well off retired. Before life became so hectic and full of modern conveniences, the people of the island were fishermen and boat builders, working very hard by the sweat of their brows just to make enough money to feed their families. Through hard work and endurance, they did just that. This book not only tells a little about yesterday but it tells of the few remaining fishermen and boat builders on Harkers Island. Fascinating is the life of Eddie Willis and his family. Edwin Martin's wonderful photographs capture the way of life of these people like no one else could. Mr. Prioli does an excellent job telling the stories of these hard working people. I strongly recommend this book not only because of the fishing community, but it will give the reader a greater appreciation for what he has.
