Handsome trade paperback features cover art by the noted outdoors artist John Swan. Romano is also the author of Shadows in the Stream & Fishing with Faeries. WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING:"A fine tribute to one of the last wilderness enclaves of New England, & to the tough, resourceful, kind-hearted, independent-minded people who eke out a living here..."--Howard Frank Mosher, author of Waiting for Teddy Williams."Romano knows the lakes, woods, & small towns of Maine, & he writes about them in clear, evocative prose. I enjoyed his novel immensely..."--William G. Tapply, author of the Brady Coyne novels. "I assumed North of Easie was another how to book on fishing, but it's a novel about the Rangeley Lakes area of Maine. Is there fishing? Yes, early morning, late afternoon, & nighttime as the moonrises. Plenty of fly-fishing & guiding where moose crossings are an everyday occurrence..."--Wayne Hooper, PORTLAND HERALD. "Romano brings us nature as nuturer, the chemistry & characters of the small town, the restorative powers of fishing, & a sense of place that rings true..."Joseph Heywood, author, The Snow Fly.
