A Year on Monhegan Island

Rating:
Summary: Filling in the gaps
Review: After spending several days on beautiful Monhegan Island with a friend who has been there every summer for twenty years, I had become quite familiar with its summer life. This book, complete with photos of residents and stories of their personal lives and family histories, showed me what it meant to live on the island year-round. The personal stories were an effective touch, as the island is naturally a very personal place with its 75-resident winter population and 700 more in the summer. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who wonder what happens to Monhegan in the winters.
