Description
In turn of the century Cape Cod, a fishing family struggles with the fractures caused by a tragic accident to a young boy .
All that Nathaniel Boyd wants is to be left alone. His hopes of marriage died years ago, not long after the storms and the seas and the sails took away his youngest brother. He’d rather be in the marshes of Cape Cod, with their predictable rhythms and no emotion. The Cape doesn’t blame him for the accident.
The other Boyd brother, Finn, dives headlong into his fish trading company, trying to prove something to himself. When their father asks the brothers to sail a schooner down from Boston to their harbor village, he didn’t expect them to bring back a young girl fleeing her home, much less a girl who slips off the boat and nearly drowns. The Boyd men take Rachel to the nearest home to the harbor — that of Nathaniel’s first love, Meredith.
As Rachel’s recovery brings Nathaniel back into Meredith’s world, nothing will be the same. And when their father dies and upends the world as they know it, Finn spins into a violent rage. Nathaniel will be forced to sail his own ship, taking command of his family and of his future.

The Last Sailor by Sarah Anne Johnson
This was a very well written heartfelt story. I loved this book, so much more than meets the eye. The love, hate, greed, and loss felt by several of the characters was brought out in feelings and descriptions. I would not consider this a fast easy read, it is a slow simmering cup of coffee to be savored and enjoyed, not rushed.
The writing reminds me of William Kent Krueger, so much story to tell and you feel like you are right there walking beside the characters. I consider this a family saga of how misunderstandings and assumptions can go badly so quickly when anger takes over. Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys a slow burning story that reminds us of the true enjoyment of reading.
I want to thank Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book for my honest unbiased opinion. This is a 5-star review. Highly recommend.

Heartfelt emotional drama on so many levels, between father and sons, between brothers, between families. The author blends and intertwines the story between the various relationships and characters perfectly; meshing grief, fear, love, anger, rage, longing, forgiveness, and finally peace.
I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
