The natural beauty of
the Great Lakes and the awesome force of its storms provide set the scene for
this great tale of life’s natural cycles.
Peter Geye in his first novel Safe From The Sea frames a
profound story of an estranged father and the sons attempts to reconcile, along with the
tragedy of a Great Lakes sea wreck hanging over their heads. The son and his wife also have problems with
conception. This all provides us with
riveting characterizations writ large.
It also seems evident to me that my attraction to this story that the father son conflict is generational.
Safe From The Sea obviously also clicks for me because as a
nature loving Minnesotan our Greatest Great Lake and our northern Pine forests are close
to my heart.
This is a very good book.
Family redemption issues, managed by good people, always works for me.
