Über den Autor

Jane Goodrich, a co-founder of Saturn Press, is a native of New England. A lifelong love of the 19th century has inspired her work as a designer, builder, printer, and storyteller. George Nixon Black's Kragsyde, first built on the North Shore of Massachusetts, was later demolished and rebuilt in every detail by Goodrich and her husband, doing all the work themselves, on an island in Maine. Writing from a room that sits above Kragsyde's famous arch, Goodrich has penned The House at Lobster Cove, as her first novel, a vividly imagined and historically accurate picture of a man who has long inspired her.
