Set in a small coastal town in North Carolina during the waning years of the American Revolution, this incandescent debut novel follows three generations of family—fathers and daughters, mother and son, master and slave, characters who yearn for redemption amidst a heady brew of war, kidnapping, slavery, and love. Drawn to the ocean, ten-year-old Tabitha wanders the marshes of her small coastal village and listens to her father’s stories about his pirate voyages and the mother she never knew. Since the loss of his wife Helen, John has remained land-bound for their daughter, but when Tab contracts yellow fever, he turns to the sea once more. Desperate to save his daughter, he takes her aboard a sloop bound for Bermuda, hoping the salt air will heal her. Years before, Helen herself was raised by a widowed father. Asa, the devout owner of a small plantation, gives his daughter a young slave named Moll for her tenth birthday. Left largely on their own, Helen and Moll develop a close but uneasy companionship. Helen gradually takes over the running of the plantation as the girls grow up, but when she meets John, the pirate turned Continental soldier, she flouts convention and her father’s wishes by falling in love. Moll, meanwhile, is forced into marriage with a stranger. Her only solace is her son, Davy, whom she will protect with a passion that defies the bounds of slavery. In this elegant, evocative, and haunting debut, Katy Simpson Smith captures the singular love between parent and child, the devastation of love lost, and the lonely paths we travel in the name of renewal.

It was not age that caused him to leave his romantic profession; nor unworthiness of its traditions, nor gun-shot wound, nor drink; but grim necessity and force majeure. Five navies were after him. How he gave them the slip one day in the Mediterranean, how he fought with the Arabs, how a ship's broadside was heard in Lat. 23 N. Long. 4 E. for the first time and the last, with other things unknown to Admiralties, I shall proceed to tell.

A near-island bathed in salty sea air and brushed by steady winds, Nova Scotia is often shadowed by dark clouds one moment and lit by a brilliant sun the next. This ever-changing and remarkably diverse landscape makes the province an inspiration for artists. From Land and Sea: Nova Scotia's Contemporary Landscape Artists profiles 70 artists and their works, representing a wide range of styles. Dozay Christmas and Alan Syliboy draw from Mi'kmaw legends, June Deveau and Denise Comeau depict Acadian landscapes, and realists such as Tom Forrestall, Leonard Paul, and Alice Reed immerse us in a rare moment frozen in time. With a foreword from Ray Cronin, director and CEO of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, From Land and Sea is not only an indispensable guide to the artists themselves, but a stunning portrait of a remarkable province.
