From AudioFile:

Dillard (PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK) brings her renowned skills as a naturalist to their full height in this lush character study of a young couple in post-war Provincetown in a story that moves through their meeting, marriage, separation, reunion, and deaths. Who loves more, men or women, characters muse early on. And do they love differently? Listeners will be as enchanted by these unconventional lovers as they will be by the waves and stars that seem to give their lives a reason to continue. Secondary characters merge with the ever-changing landscape, offering shades of light or dark. Narrator David Rasche keeps all the elements on an even course, not falling prey to moments of possible overemotion. R.R. � AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
