Welcome to Litsy!

Ravishing, extravagant, flirtatious Annie Macleoud and kind, plain, virtuous Myrtle Duns cannot remember a time when they were not the most loving, rivalrous, and unlikely of friends, unflinchingly loyal to each other in the harsh climate of the Scottish fishing village that is their home. Their extraordinary friendship has been tested many times; most of all when Myrtle embarks upon the great and passionate love affair of her life while beautiful Annie finds only disappointment. Still their friendship survives, until a horrifying accident destroys the equilibrium and exposes the secret sadness, jealousy, and betrayal each has hidden over the years. In Wives of the Fishermen, once again Angela Huth explores the intricate mechanism of friendship with tenderness, intelligence, and understanding.
