Summary:
"
Robert
Ritcey
's memoir of his boyhood is brimming with evocative details of everyday life in the coastal village of East Petpeswick.
Ritcey
invites us back to a rural world of small-scale fishing, farming, and logging, of wooden boats and ox-drawn sleds, of one-room schools and party-line telephones. He lovingly describes the sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures of his
childhood
landscape and recalls the hard work and ingenuity of the people who made a modest, independent living on this seabound coast. The Place is a charming portrait of a time now passing out of living memory."
