A review by madtraveler
Harbor Lights by Theodore Weesner

4.0

I was going to give it a 3, but decided that that was merely because I hated two of the four characters. 3.5 if there was such a thing here. The author shifts among the four very well-developed characters. A lobsterman dying of cancer looks back on his life with regrets and tries to come to terms with his failures and the failure of his marriage. His daughter, his wife and her lover give us the wider view. Some strong emotional moments in here and an intense finale. Not a happy book, surely, and while events have impact, there is no mystery or grand revelations, but the grim outcomes are believable given how well we know the characters.
