The Lost Boys of Montauk by Amanda M. Fairbanks

4.0

I loved this book. Fairbanks described the individuals related to the story vividly. Before A PERFECT STORM, there was a nor’easter in 1984, which sunk a ship with four young commercial fishermen. She begins by describing the storm and probable events leading to the ship sinking. The middle unspools all the of the fisherman’s histories and family dynamics. It ends with all the reverberations and impacts the survivors faced immediately after the tragedy and many years later. I like ocean/fisherman stories so this scratched that itch. There were some moments when I was tired of reading about *another* family member’s whole history - however, she always found an interesting thread/connection. Highly recommend if you tend to like nonfiction.
