Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As I began reading The Fisherman's Quilt, I was suddenly twenty years old again with a world of possibilities. The love I felt for my man and our life together would always make my days full of laughter and wonder. My nights would become mystical in their passion. I knew Nora Hunter, the main character in this novel; my college roommates of so many years ago knew Nora, too. We were Nora. The author's words compelled this reader to make Nora my best friend and give her advice I wish I would have taken. The Fisherman's Quilt took me back to my life thirty years ago and let me remember my own struggles in creating my present. I hope it does this for you, too.
