Industry Reviews
"Here, in true Hemingway fashion, the fishing adventure sings with urgency and determination; depth and thoughtfulness arrive via technical fishing details as well as Skiff's poignant mental dialogues with his beloved late mother. Readers will be hooked."
Kirkus Reviews (01/15/2004)
"This thrilling and elegant book overflows with detail about life at sea, but will hold the interest of even the most stalwart landlubber."
