About this title

From the Back Cover:

Mattie Fiona Blue, recently widowed and filled with grief, spins a tale of her beloved husband Nick - his birth, his love of the sea, his haunted fear of drowning, their romantic and devoted love for each other, and his death - a death always, as it seemed, foretold by family legend. While mourning Nick, Mattie tells us of her own life as she journeys from the loneliness of a broken home and a disapproving mother to the chaotic, mythic, abundant sphere of the sprawling Greek-American Blue family, whose ties to the sea extend across generations, continents and time.

An exploration of grief and transcendence, Remembering Blue is an unforgettable, beautifully told story that will affirm Connie May Fowler's place at the forefront of American writers.
