The shining tides, a novel

This New York Times bestseller, set in 1950s New England, has an appeal that extends beyond the realm of the fishing aficionado to anyone who appreciates a fascinating and well-crafted story."With this breezy, invigorating narrative, Win Brooks has produced not just another story about fishing, but one that will appeal to those who have never wet a line…a crackerjack of a novel." -The Lewiston Daily Sun"'The Shining Tides' … could easily be advertised as a textbook on striped bass fishing… It concerns very human beings, and their troubles, and it has a complicated plot, woven expertly and without gathers or loose ends, like a good shrimp net" -Saturday Review of Literature"There's romance, there's a bit of a mystery, there's adventure. And -- for those captured by the magic of the sea to which Rachel Carson provided a key, there's a slender thread of plus interest in the story of an ancient and huge striped bass." -Kirkus Reviews"There seems to be no central character — that is none more important than others, unless it might be the striped bass, Roccus. Father O'Meara, the parish Priest, counterbalances Manuel Riba, the local drunk and general ne’er-do-well. Add two pretty girls, a college professor and a salty fisher man, and you have the ingredients for a story whose background is lively, colorful, adventurous and challenging. The plot moves along swiftly and climaxes in a most exciting way." -Wilmington Sunday Star
