Customer Reviews

A lovely visit to a Scottish fishing village

I read this book for a book club/discussion group and did not go into it with any expectations. Wives of the Fishermen turned out to be a charming glimpse into another place and community. Huth's characters were graciously developed and I felt as if I knew the characters personally.

Two women in a small fishing village share their friendship.

This is a very enjoyable book of the friendship and lives of two women in a small fishing village in Scotland. The book is so well written that you actually feel you are a part of village life. The book draws a moving portrait of the lives of fisherman and how it affects their families. Characters are well written especially the contrast between quiet, steady Myrtle and her flirty,best friend Annie. The book has many themes about friendship and love. I would highly recommend this book. This is the first book I read by this author, but hope to read her other books.
