The Lobster Chronicles: Life On a Very Small
Island n THE LOBSTER CHRONICLES, Linda Greenlaw returns from her
years of
adventure to Isle au Haut, the island that has been the Greenlaw home
for five generations. There are only 70 year-round residents on the
island, 10 of whom are Greenlaws. In describing her first year as a
lobsterman, the author explores themes of love, family, and the pursuit
of a simpler life. In particular, she discusses working with her
father, who is her helmsman, and their relationship - what they learn
about lobstering and each other. The book contains many vivid, and
sometimes hilarious, stories of life on Isle au Haut and the characters
who live there. THE LOBSTER CHRONICLES also describes the ongoing
battle between Isle au Haut lobstermen and the Stonington lobstermen.
This is the war that is referred to in the title, and it is this
conflict that provides a narrative arc for the book. The book
integrates material on topics ranging from the secret ingredient in
Linda's mother's lobster casserole recipe to island lore. In addition
to these kinds of lighter items, THE LOBSTER CHRONICLES includes a
harrowing section on three young island residents killed in a boating
accident. As in THE HUNGRY OCEAN, Linda Greenlaw displays Tom Clancy's
genius for describing equipment, Jimmy Breslin's flair for a yarn, and
a wonderfully real voice, sometimes contemplative, often cranky, always
all her own. Click
