Joseph Green is the pen name of the author. He is a Canadian of partly American heritage, and has been a fisherman, merchant mariner, editor and publisher, and public-service executive.
At the eastern end of the Canada-United States border, the foggy islands of the Bay of Fundy face a still older frontier — where fishermen challenge the sea, from communities anchored in time.
When American industrialist Walter Lismer tries to impose rapid change and local youth Paul Russell falls for his daughter, waves of conflict will test the toughness — and the tenderness — of "from-away" and island hearts.
Come From Away is set in the early 1950s and was first published in 1981, to wide acclaim.
This re-issue brings back an era when life on sea and shore was forceful and direct, and community judgement could reshape lives.
"The most impressive novel of the season."
— Globe and Mail
"An extremely accomplished novel from an unknown writer, blessed with page-turning comic verve and acute social observation." — Toronto Star
"Seldom has the lilt of a maritime accent been as successfully represented on the printed page as it is in this unassuming tale of a boy's coming of age on an Atlantic island." — Maclean's Magazine
