A beloved short story collection-now in a new paperback edition with a never-before published story and an afterword by the author.
In nine interlinking stories, the town of Abbot Falls reacts as Ernie Whitten, pipefitter, builds an ark in his backyard. The community itself is struggling to survive as a strike at the local paper mill wears on. Few writers can capture the extraordinary within seemingly ordinary lives as does Monica Wood. Ms. Wood has created an unforgettable tapestry of love, loneliness, and neighbours.
'Like Elizabeth Strout, her fellow chronicler of small-town Maine life, Monica Wood imbues her characters with the complexity and humanity of real people. Ernie's Ark is as true as life.'-Christina Baker Kline, # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train
