Haven't read it but just met the author at the Astoria Fisher Poets gathering. Her name is Margaret Doyle and she has written a book called Fisherman's Quilt. She is the wife of a fisherman and they lived and fished in Kodiak Alaska for some time. This book is being read by book clubs...she is a very impressive woman. The book is a novel and explores various myths of fishing etc. I suspect and will confirm once I have had a chance to read it, that it is a very important book. mg
