Some Wonderful, Paperback/Heidi Watts

In a series of stories, Heidi Watts describes more than 50 years of summers on a group of small islands off the eastern coast of Nova Scotia. In deeply personal recollections, Heidi describes life in an isolated fishing community, watching the sharp decline in fish and a community in transition. "I wanted to celebrate the beauty of the islands, the land, and the sea-and I wanted to honor a way of life which evolved over 150 years and disappeared in less than 50. This is a celebration of what is, and a lament for what is lost. I watched with pain, close-up and personal, the increasing destruction and final death of the fisheries and the impact on those who made a living from the sea. I also wanted to capture for you and for myself the beauty of the sea, sand, sky, and rocks-what was unique in the culture of the time and place, and the inevitability of change."
