From the Publisher:
"Rich in detail, chokingly tense and gorgeously romantic...hoists its author to the top of his class." --San Francisco Chronicle
About the Author:
"Watkins writes fiction as thoughtful as it is stirring. His clean, Hemingwayesque prose speaks with urgency and beauty." --Dan Cryer, Newsday
"From the first sentence, Paul Watkins' book grabs the reader and doesn't let go....As changeable as the sea: beautiful and romantic and brutal and ugly, but always fascinating." --Chicago Tribune
"A book that will only reinforce his reputation as one of the best young writers....Watkins is an exceptional storyteller." --Providence Sunday Journal
