Official synopsis Publisher
Mention The North Shore in certain circles and you’ll evoke images of red-jacketed equestrians and white yachts bobbing at anchor off Marblehead or Manchester. This was where Boston’s brahmins summered in the nineteenth century, as described in Joe Garland’s The North Shore (page 4), and the region still has a certain social cachet. But taken as the stretch of coast from Boston’s city limits north to the New Hampshire border, the North Shore is a remarkably diverse neighborhood, a hotbed of history, and a glorious place to live. Welsch is a photojournalist, which means she captures not only the beautiful places but also the fascinating people from Revere to Rockport, Saugus to Salisbury. Those who relished Welsch’s Boston’s North Shore wall calendar published by Commonwealth Editions (2000-2002) will love this volume, as will anyone who has lived or left his or her heart here.
