When the United States was still neutral before WWII, a house of suspected Nazi spies was blown up in a small town in Maine.

Based on a true story, a lost quality of life is recovered through the eyes of an artist.

Impressive. Nothing extra or wasted . . . I believe all of the characters . . . Dialogue is beautiful . . . The voice is consistent and real throughout." -From the afterword by Elizabeth Cooke, English & Creative Writing Prof. Emeritus, University of Maine, Farmington

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Multilayered, satisfying, inspiring By Piney River Blown Apart appealed to me on several levels. As a historian, I was intrigued to learn not only of the presence of Nazi spies in Maine and on its coast in 1941 but also of the reactions of the local people, especially the way they felt geographically remote and therefore ignored by the Federal government and how this affected their responses to these spies. As someone who grew up in a rural, small town only slightly later than 1941, I savored the depictions of life in a similar place in Maine. Most of all, however, as a woman and human being, I was fascinated by Dawn, the narrator and main character of the book. Even here, I experienced two aspects—the outer and inner lives of this remarkable woman, who is quite young for the most of the book. Despite the loss—again and again—of those she deeply loves, she is sustained and inspired by extraordinary wisdom and other inner resources, resources that originated, for the most part, from her late mother but have become, at a deep level, Dawn’s own. In addition, she finds fulfillment as an artist. For this reason, I could not feel sorry for Dawn. Indeed, as much as I wanted things to turn out differently for her, I felt that she lived a life that is to be envied, one deserving of being a model for my own.The style and structure of the book is spare and simple, without extraneous drama, sentiment, or description. This lends weight to each sentence, particularly, it seems, to its verbs.Blown Apart

Blown Apart is thoughtful and deep By outdoor and travel writer My wife Linda and I had a great visit with Margaret Brinton-Collinson and her husband at the Mount Vernon Christmas Craft Fair, where they were selling products from their very popular “Beehive Bakery” in Farmington. You can check that out at www.collinsonfarm.com. The Collinson Family has two locations - the Bakery & Orchard in Farmington, Maine, run by Jonathan and Margaret Collinson, and the Farm with Veggies & Meat in Litchfield, Maine, run by Davyd, his wife Jenny, and daughter Guinevere Collinson.I was drawn to two books Margaret has written. She worked for years as a feature/news writer for the Lewiston Sun Journal, Franklin Journal, and Daily Bulldog, and has taught creative writing to adult education and English composition classes at Central Maine Community College. She’s even studied abroad in Canada, Ireland, and Switzerland. So yes, she can write!But the ability to write doesn’t always translate into the ability to write novels. I’ve been working on a novel for a decade and only have 8,000 words written. It’s tough!So at the fair I grabbed Margaret’s novel, Blown Apart, to see if she could do it. And the short answer is yes, she certainly can. Her novel is very thoughtful and deep, a book that will make you cause you to pause and think about what you’ve just read.The story line is explained well in the back cover piece by Elizabeth Cooke, English & Creative Writing Professor Emeritus at the University of Maine in Farmington. Elizabeth writes, “When the United States was still neutral before WWII, a house of suspected Nazi spies was blown up in a small town in Maine. One of the young men who committed the crime ran to an island off the coast and got a job, only to discover that his employer was the lover of a Nazi submarine captain at anchor nearby. Based on a true story, a lost quality of life is recovered through the eyes of an artist”“Margaret Brinton paints that old Maine life in a way that tells me she has known it… in the deep way that shows the fabric of the days and nights. The structure is neat and tightly woven. Impressive. Nothing extra or wasted. I believe all of the characters… Dialogue is beautiful… The voice is consistent and real throughout.”Elizabeth noted, just after finishing reading the novel, that she was “deeply, deeply moved.” She even returned to the opening pages are read them again. “The entire story’s future is right there,” she notes, “amazing.”I could tell you a lot more about this book, but I don’t want to spoil it for you. But I will tell you this. Margaret says she, “heard this story in its fragments while on my news beat as a reporter for a local paper. She’d stopped at a friend’s home to deliver a Christmas present. “Visiting with her was her friend Frank who told me what you are about to read – only I have changed the names and also re-imagined and in some cases invented what these villagers would say. You have to do this to make a tale.”I can only say it is a tale you will remember for a long time, just as Frank must have.
