Young Code Schofield had lost his schooner May Schofield in an Atlantic gale a few months ago, and now the townspeople on the small island of Grande Mignon off the coast of New Brunswick were beginning to talk suspiciously of the events surrounding that loss. Insurance investigators have been summoned to investigate, friends are alienating themselves from Code, and he finds himsef challenged by even those he's known and trusted his whole life. Does Code Schofield have anything to prove, and if so, to whom, and why? (Summary by Roger Melin) (8 hr 10 min)

Seaside Fishing Village Life

Sincere thanks to the great reader! The plot is perhaps not the most interesting for it ends as one might predict. However, it does go through twists and turns that kept bringing up surprises and made me want to follow along. I enjoyed the vivid and detailed descriptions of the mentality of small village people, fishing expeditions, and beautiful scenes of the sea. My favorite character was a secondary but important character Elsa, who along with the main character, was well developed and showed the most growth and change in the story. She showed the independence, wisdom and determination of a strong woman, very different from the rest of the village women who were mostly dependent on men and very modest in their aspirations and dreams. It it especially impressive to have a male writer give birth to a woman different from what her time demands of her more than 100 years ago. If you are so inclined, the writer has written other books and some can be found as free ebooks online. There is a list on Wikipedia.
great story and reader!

I especially enjoyed all the descriptions of fishing and sailing methods at the place and time about which I knew little. The story itself had quite a bit of suspense. Thank you to the reader, Roger Melin, who really adds to the enjoyment of many novels on Librivox.

a good sea faring mystery story. I would have preferred the happy ending for the woman who really showed it. But in real life, we don't even choose the better one.

The novel has interesting characters, an interesting plot, and pace of developing. The dialogue can be redunant. Merlin does narrative well and is weaker on dialogue.
Great listen

Reader Excellent!! Good movement in the story. The Author doesn’t bore you with his personal agenda. A little predictable but a good story of adventure.
