It helps if you've spent some time in New England, I think, as Loux nails certain details: the scrub pines, the architecture, the shoreline, the lobsters. That's not to say it's an East Coast only thing, just that anyone who's spent time in Maine will have a greater appreciation of what Loux's trying to do. Easily my favorite Maine story since reading Robert McCloskey's books as a kid. I just read this on the trip back to Boston yesterday and loved it!
