That ruthless act of sabotage is the opening salvo in a battle between the man and woman who own Mockbeggar's largest mercantile firms, each fighting for the scarce resources of the north Atlantic fishery, each seeking a measure of revenge on the person they despise most in the world. As their unshakeable animosity spirals further each year into vendettas and violence, the community is increasingly divided and even the innocents in Mockbeggar find themselves forced to take sides, with devastating consequences. Through merciless seasons of uncertainty and want, through predatory storms and pandemics and marauding privateers, it is the human heart that reveals itself to be the most formidable and unpredictable adversary for each person drawn, inevitably and helplessly, into that endless feud."-- 520 $a When his wedding to the daughter of a rival merchant to cement his hold on the shore is sabotaged, Abe Strapp, in an isolated outport on Newfoundlandâs northern coastline, seeks revenge on the person he despises most in the world, dividing the community with devastating consequences. 541 $d 20240206. 650 $a Corruption $v Fiction. 650 $a Brothers and sisters $v Fiction. 650 $a Vendetta $v Fiction. 651 $a Newfoundland and Labrador $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 13 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20240420010541.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20240416012137.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045338.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012838.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012702.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240307012307.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240305011650.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20240302013517.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240302011505.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240302010801.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240302010322.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20240221010103.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240210010144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14A835C8C7E211EEBA5B122F2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
