Growing up is difficult. It is even more difficult when surrounded by vile gossips, evil eyes, and bad-tempered fishermen!
When you live in a trivial fishing community on the coast of Maine this is a part of everyday life. Just ask Mara and she will tell you all about it.
This is a vivid and interesting story about Mara Lincoln, a young woman called "The Pearl". She has a troubled childhood, raised by her grandparents because her mother died giving birth to her and her father drowned. As she becomes older, Mara finds herself tangled up in various adventures on her coming-of-age path.
An interesting and adventurous read recommended for both fans of Stowe and everyone who enjoys realism, classics and American fiction. A thorn in the angry eyes of American slave owners, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and ardent abolitionist. Her novel 'Uncle Tom’s Cabin' (1852) became one of the most famous literary attacks on slavery at the time. The novel was also turned into a play and adapted to the movie screen more than once. The latest version from 1987 features Samuel L. Jackson, one of the most popular actors of his generation. Stowe also wrote numerous travel memoirs, letters, articles, and short stories – all crucial to the depiction of the injustice of African Americans we still hear about today.
