Description:

From its opening pages, Anita Shreve's Sea Glass surrounds the reader in the rich feeling of the New Hampshire coast in winter. Evoking the life of the coastal community at the beginning of the Great Depression, Sea Glass shifts through the multiple points of view of six principal characters. It's a story of braided lives that bounces easily (even inevitably) from character to character. We learn how these lives come together following the stock market crash of 1929 and about the struggles of mill workers on the starkly beautiful New Hampshire coast during the following year.
