A fractured family, a devastated community, and the disaster that brings them together.
"In her gripping and emotionally rich novel, Joselyn Takacs is as perceptive about the natural world as she is about the ecosystem of the troubled family at the heart of this book. Pearce Oysters is an impressive, unflinching, and haunting debut."
- Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings
"This is fiction with a social conscience that is, more wonderful still, beautifully told: witty, vivid, consistently humane. Joselync Takacs understands the economics of the domestic oyster industry as well as she knows the permutations of love, loyalty, and resentment that define family life -- or any life."
- Alice McDermott, author of Absolution
"Pearce Oysters is that rare novel able to speak eloquently and empathetically for our complex times while also delivering an irresistible, heartrending story. A powerful, transportive debut. I simply couldn't put it down."
- Shelley Read, author of Go As A River
