Stern Men – Elizabeth Gilbert

Quirky, original, and full of grit — a strong debut from Elizabeth Gilbert.

On the coast of Maine, two lobster-fishing communities have been feuding for generations. Caught in the middle is Ruth Thomas — feisty, sharp, and determined to forge her own path. Gilbert’s debut novel is witty and eccentric, exploring themes of independence, tradition, and belonging with a satirical edge that announces a major talent.

Perfect for fans of small-town drama with a strong female lead. A paperback (2000 edition) in Good condition.
