What is Stern Men about?
EDITORIAL REVIEW: **The "wonderful first novel about life, love, and lobster fishing" (*USA Today*) from the #1 bestselling writer** In 2000, Elizabeth Gilbert's *Stern Men* debuted to phenomenal critical attention. Now, Penguin is publishing a new edition of Gilbert's wise and charming novel for the millions of readers who devoured *Eat, Pray, Love* and remain hungry for more. Off the coast of Maine, Ruth Thomas is born into a feud fought for generations by two groups of local lobstermen over fishing rights for the waters that lie between their respective islands. At eighteen, she has returned from boarding school-smart as a whip, feisty, and irredeemably unromantic-determined to throw over her education and join the "stern men"working the lobster boats. Gilbert utterly captures the American spirit through an unforgettable heroine who is destined for greatness-and love-despite herself.
