Sylvanus Now is the main character's name, this is a story of his life, at least most of it. He is a fisherman off Newfoundland Canada in the years after WWII. He tries to stick with the old ways of fishing as larger commercial fishing is basically attacking the fishing grounds. He marries Adelaide and while she dreamed of more out of life, she seems at time happy or at least settled. This is a story about a tough life and how you just have to find ways to live it. I enjoyed this book even if at times was slow and other times tough to get through.
I have posted it on PBS & there were no copies. It got requested right away & I will probably mail off later today.
