Now, Penguin is publishing a new edition of Gilbert's wise and charming novel for the millions of readers who devoured \u003ci\u003eEat, Pray, Love\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120804872432,"sku":"9781101014875","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101014875_p0.jpg?v=1763684492","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101014875","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
