Hemingway's last great novel, set in the islands of the Gulf Stream, captures the challenges of adult personal relationships with his unique style. This particular work is the last that Hemingway wrote before his death and tells the story of Thomas Hudson, an artist and adventurer. Living the life of a bachelor on a Gulf Stream island during the 1930s, Hudson's existence is defined by the waves and tides. However, when his sons come to visit him, Hudson must confront the role of father and the unfamiliar demands of family. A later work by one of America's greatest writers.
