The Gilly Salt Sisters
Prospect is a small, isolated village on Cape Cod. For as long as anyone can remember the fate of the village depended on the salt it produced. Salt always harvested by the Gilly women. Joanna and Claire Gilly both understand the importance of the salt, but could not be further apart in their attitude towards it. Nor could they be any more different as sisters. As Claire marries into the (despised) Turner family (house perched on the top of the hill overlooking the village) and Jo stays on the salt farm (shack resting at the edge of the salt marshes) the history surrounding both the town and the salt starts to unravel. Unspoken truths rise to the surface causing things to go a bit awry. While the world around her is spinning Jo remains stalwart in her belief in the power of the salt.A little bit of magic, a little bit of love, a family feud and some unexpected turns made this a book I had a difficult time putting down. For fans of Little Giant of Aberdeen Country this second book by Ms. Baker is a must read.
