Description
Charles Clark Munn writes a Maine coast romance in this 1902 Boston novel, illustrated by Frank T. Merrill. It is dedicated to all who despise hypocrisy, admire manly courage and womanly devotion, and respect simple faith. Forty-five chapters open on Rockhaven itself, introduce Winn Hardy, the Rockhaven Granite Company, Jess Hutton, and Mona Hutton. Forty-five chapters move through Sunday on Rockhaven, the hand of fate, a friendly hand, the Devil's Oven, and the parting of the ways.
Later chapters follow a matter of business, the growth of a bubble, a path of moonlight, fog, a cloud over Rockhaven, two rascals, the starting and progress of a corner, a climax. Munn balances coastal life, granite quarrying, speculation, and romance. Readers of regional fiction will enjoy its sea air and its moral steadiness.
