Rendition In Favor Of Books The Captain and the Girl

In the nineteenth century, hundreds of young girls joined schooner- and land-based fishing crews in the great seasonal Labrador cod-fishery. Uneducated and socially repressed, many of these young women found themselves alone and frightened on distant shores, with no familial or spiritual support.

In 1892, Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a young British doctor, answered the call from Britain's oldest North American colony to treat the appalling social conditions among the livyers of Labrador and the Newfoundlanders who prosecuted the Labrador cod-fishery. During that first season, Grenfell's medical ship the Albert was blown into Indian Tickle, where Grenfell encountered a young woman in great distress, under the care of a well-intentioned but misguided fishing captain.

From Grenfell's medical files, Earl B. Pilgrim has crafted another classic in Newfoundland literature, in the tradition of Will Anyone Search for Danny? and Curse of the Red Cross Ring.

Write Up Epithetical Books The Captain and the Girl

I gave this a good rating, not because the writing was particularly captivating, but the book was really informative about the tremendous hardships faced by the fisherman in Labrador around the turn of the last century.

I really enjoyed reading this book. As a fan of Earl B. Pilgrim, I can honestly say that I'd read anything he writes. This story of rural Newfoundland is set many years back before the moratorium when the cod fishery was at its height. A cultural story in all its magnificence, this story is well worth reading and adding to one's bookshelf.

"A natural-born storyteller, Earl B. Pilgrim will not disappoint his fans with his most recent story, The Captain and the Girl." -- The Telegram "Brilliant story." -- The Newfoundland Herald "Pilgrim is a good storyteller." -- Downhome "The Captain and the Girl is a quick, enjoyable read for anyone looking for an adventurous tale with the flavour of local history." -- The Express

Great book and I'm looking forward to reading some of Pilgrim's other books! I used to think CANLIT was boring but I'm happy to say that I was wrong.

The Captain and the girl was a great look into the history of fishing labrador coast and the role young girls took in the fishery! This book was a great read of medical history of fishery and how the old fishing system worked! Love reading books based in Newfoundland!

Mind blowing story. Loved every minute of it!
