Declan O Donnell has sailed out of Oregon and deep into the vast, wild ocean, having possessed just finally enough of other folks and their problems. He will go it exclusively, he'll be his own country, he'll be beholden to and favorite of nobody. No man is an island, my butt, he thinks. I am that very man.... But the galaxy soon reveals him with a string of unusual, engaging, and dangerous travellers, who become companions of each type and stripe. The Plover is the storyplot of their adventures and misadventures in the tremendous blue country one with their company calling Pacifica. Hounded with a mysterious enemy, reluctantly acquiring one new citizen after another, Declan O Donnell's depressed fishing boat is eventually filled with humor, argument, tension, and a resident herring gull. Brian Doyle's The Plover is a sea book, a maritime excursion, the story of an wintry man melting, a compendium of small wonders, an elegy to Edmund Burke, a watery quest, a struggle at sea - and a rapturous, heartfelt party of life's unusual paths, designed and unplanned.
