Spoonhandle

By Ruth Moore and Moore

Book Overview

Spoonhandle, Ruth Moore's second novel, spent 14 weeks on The New York Times Bestseller List and was made into the movie Deep Waters. Spoonhandle is about Maine, brilliantly authentic, but the story told is universal, as old as time as it deals with the struggle between love and meanness of spirit, between human dignity and greed.

Great story

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.
