"The fortunes of the Albins and the Fitzes have been twined with the sea for generations, and now the tie is starting to fray. Their tiny fishing community of Rosaline chafes against the imposition of fishing quotas, the closure of the local fish processing plant, and the encroachment of an exploitative tourism industry that buys up their precious waterfront properties and repackages their traditional ways as nostalgic museum fodder."--Jacket.
