Paul Watkins is slowly becoming my favorite author.Calm At Sunset , Calm At Dawn is the third Watkins novel I've read and it is as good a read as the previous two were. It doesn't seem to matter what the topic , Watkins' writing has that special quality that lets me feel like I'm living the life that he describes in his books. Calm At Sunset , Calm At Dawn is the story of James Pfeiffer , a young man who decides he wants to work as a fisherman on a scallop trawler despite his parents wishes that he not follow in his fathers footsteps , a boat owner and fisherman himself. The descriptions , the dialogue and the charachters we meet are so true and accurate that I feel I'm James Pfeiffer telling the story. Calm At Sunset , Calm At Dawn is a great sea story and a coming of age story. Paul Watkins' impecable storytelling and his incredible attention to detail is what makes him an outstanding novelist.
