Pearce Oysters
Joselyn Takacs
“The complex characters and the lovingly described Louisiana setting bring this eco-tragedy sympathetically to life. Recommended to readers of issue-oriented fiction such as Charlotte McConaghy’s Migrations and Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead.”
—Booklist
A fractured family, a devastated community, and the disaster that brings them together.
After the sudden death of his father, Jordan Pearce reluctantly takes over the family’s generations-old oyster-farming business on Louisiana's Gulf Coast. He’s still adjusting to the new role when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explodes offshore, triggering one of the worst environmental disasters in history and throwing his hardscrabble coastal town into crisis.
While looking after his distressed mother, Jordan struggles to keep the company afloat and is forced to seek help from his estranged brother, Benny, a beatnik musician living in New Orleans. In the face of impending tragedy, this small community searches for a way forward, just as the fractured Pearce family, finally reunited under one roof, must find the hope and courage to save their legacy.
