The Woman-Haters: a yarn of Eastboro twin-lights
by Joseph Crosby Lincoln
About this book
Joseph Crosby Lincoln's The Woman-Haters: a yarn of Eastboro twin-lights announces a seaside comedy full of small-town antics and dry New England wit. Set in an early 20th-century coastal village, this fiction-humor literary yarn follows the likes of Seth Atkins, the lightkeeper, Mrs. Emeline Bascom, the bungalow housekeeper, the enigmatic "John Brown," and the overlooked Bennie D., as Lincoln expands a magazine tale into a richer portrait of community, rivalry, and mistaken assumptions.
With gentle satire and warm character study, the narrative captures maritime life, local rituals, and the social codes of a fishing town—complete with a rejuvenated craft called the Daisy M. and the tides that shape neighborhood gossip. Lincoln’s tone balances farce with affection, painting human foibles without malice and celebrating the eccentricities of island living. Historical context gives the story period charm: manners, technology, and seaside occupations of early New England are woven into the humor and plot without modern intrusion.
Ideal for fans of classic American humor, maritime fiction, and character-driven literary comedy, this audiobook is perfect for beachside listening, long drives, or anyone who enjoys a well-told, good-natured yarn about community, folly, and the eternal dance between men and women.
