Reviews: “Nicely written, well researched. . . . In her spare, unromantic prose, Brait presents the watermen, their work lives, the oyster they seek to catch with ever increasing failure and the ineluctable environmental pressures that surround the bay and intrude on the waters.”—Newport News Daily Press
