About this book
Cy Whittaker's Place by Joseph Crosby Lincoln ushers listeners into the wry, tender world of Bayport, a New England hamlet where sea breezes, small‑town etiquette, and vivid characters shape every day. A warm piece of American fiction and literature, Lincoln’s novel centers on Captain Cy and the bustling "perfect boarding house," introducing a parade of locals—gossipy landladies, earnest fishermen, meddlesome selectmen—whose quirks and loyalties reveal a community balancing tradition and change.
Set around the turn of the 20th century, the story captures maritime customs, town politics, and the gentle cruelties and comforts of village life without ever sacrificing humor or heart. Lincoln’s keen ear for dialect and his affectionate satire make each scene a portrait of an era when reputation mattered, birthdays were civic events, and a single letter could set tongues wagging. The narrative unfolds through character-driven episodes that explore aging, civic pride, and the small but profound ways neighbors save one another.
Perfect for fans of classic literature, character-rich fiction, or anyone craving a cozy, seaside listening experience, this audiobook offers old‑fashioned charm, comic observation, and a timeless celebration of community.
