If you read The Perfect Storm (or saw the movie), you might remember Andrea Gail's sister ship, Hannah Boden. That boat is captained by perhaps the only female swordfisherman (and yes, she does prefer 'fisherman'), and this is her story. It is an interesting companion book to The Perfect Storm, because nothing goes wrong on this trip. The fascination in this story is with the everyday world of swordfishing. Recommended.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.

I read her other two... The Lobster Chronicles, which I enjoyed, and All Fishermen are Liars, which I didn't enjoy nearly as much. I need to pick this one up. Thanks for reminding me.
