I've never read the book, but I have seen the movie Deep Waters with Dana Andrews!
Excellent movie.
Wonderful Book

I bought this book at a used book sale, mainly because it was an old book. I had never heard of the author before. I began the book and was totally enraptured with it. I am a little familiar with the "summer people" and the tearing out of the guts in selling property that has been in the family your whole life. Aside from that, I loved the dialect given the characters. They became so real to me. The story line from beginning to end was very satisfactory. I see there was a movie made from this book, Deep Water. I would like to see that but haven't been able to locate it. My next move will be to buy more books by this excellent author.
Ruth Moore is a genius in telling the story of Maine people

Spoonhandle is a compelling story of an island community in Maine and how they deal with changing times. This is about people and family and living...in short, I couldn't put it down. I followed by reading 5 more Ruth Moore books all enjoyable as ever. A clear 10.
