RED RIGHT RETURNING, by Charles McLane, set on a Penobscot Bay island is a sprawling novel that follows the lives of a dozen islanders and their families through tragedy, change, and triumph in a world that isn't as isolated as it once may have seemed. Although the story begins just after World War II, it is remarkably current as it explores timeless island themes: the subtle tensions (and attractions) between islanders and summer people, the special dynamics of island life, the inevitable competition for lobsters, and how an island community adjusts to change.

"warm tale of relationships…delightfully romantic… keenly perceptive story of how people adjust and make the best of their lives." —Central Maine Newspapers, March 20, 2005
