In the insular Portuguese fishing community of Provincetown, Josie Carvalho's life has been shaped by the annual influx of summer tourists and his great aunt's fervent Catholicism. The counterweight to these forces has always been Josie's relationship with his grandfather, a drunk, clam-poaching old man who is a sly and masterful storyteller.
