The story takes place in a small fishing village on the rocky coast of Maine, and follows the lives of the inhabitants of the village as they grapple with love, loss, and tragedy. The central character is a young girl named Janet, who dreams of escape and adventure but finds herself trapped in the village by circumstance. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of the rugged coastline and the sea, which serve as a powerful backdrop for the human drama. Nathan's prose is often lyrical and dreamlike, highlighting the beauty and fragility of life. "The Sea-Gull Cry" is a moving and poignant novel that captures the essence of a moment in time and the human experience in all its complexity. Robert Gruntal Nathan was an American poet and novelist born on January 2, 1894, in New York City. He authored numerous novels, plays, children's books, screenplays, and collections of poems. Nathan's most successful works include "Portrait of Jennie" (made into a movie in 1948), "They Went On Together," "The Sea-Gull Cry," and "The Bishop's Wife" (made into a movie in 1947). Nathan's works often revolve around issues of love, loss, and the human experience. He was highly respected in the literary world and counted F. Scott Fitzgerald among his friends.
