Produktbeschreibung
Set in a tragic, transformative year in an extraordinary place with larger-than-life characters, The Weather Diviner is a story of self-discovery--not just for one young woman, but for Newfoundland itself. It's 1942. With polished boots and bulging wallets, the Americans have come to defend a highly strategic location--Newfoundland: the Allies' new transatlantic transportation hub. Like thousands of others chasing new opportunities, Violet Morgen abandons her remote outport home and heads to St. John's. An amateur forecaster with a powerful sixth sense for the island's tempestuous winds and weather, Violet is determined to help the Americans fight the enemy. But determination, it turns out, is not enough. Carefully-researched and -crafted, entertaining, and informative, The Weather Diviner is a heart-felt tale in which friends make a difference, weather makes for interesting conversation, and opportunity comes to those who dare to dream.
