Linda Greenlaw can not only fish, she can tell a tale like no other. I have immensly enjoyed reading several of her books thus far. This book tells of one particular fishing trip aboard The Hanna Boden, the ship that Linda captained for years, and as many know was also the sister ship to The Andrea Gail, the ill faited longliner featured in Sebastian Youngers The Perfect Storm. Anyone who enjoys adventure, comedy, drama, fiction or nonficiton will find something to enjoy here, as Linda details the ups and downs of life spent longlining for swordfish on Grand Banks of the Atlantic ocean.
