After hearing a radio interview with the author I decided to buy this book and learn something about an important Oregon industry and an unfamiliar way of life. I think it's good to learn about the often unseen human costs of bringing us the food we take for granted. I found the descriptions of the lives of fishermen and their families to be very interesting, and the human tragedy at the heart of the book to be compelling. I would have given it four stars except for two things: the author has very strong opinions on the negative effects of government regulations and bureaucratic red tape, and while I often tend to agree with her, I know there are usually at least two sides to every issue and I don't know enough about fishing to know the nuances. Secondly, the author has a mystifying tendency to describe in great detail every meal she ever ate or prepared. Often this information was irrelevant to the story and it became tedious after a while. Perhaps she should think about writing a cookbook. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In 2000, Michele Longo Eder began a journal to record what daily life was like for her while her husband and sons were out commercial fishing off the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and northern California. But personal tragedy struck just before Christmas 2001. This book is an offer of healing to her family, her community, and to fishing families everywhere.
