I was intrigued by the title and the description of The Topsail Accord because I wanted to learn about a couple who had agreed on some unusual terms to hold a relationship. Relationships after all are complicated, fragile things and I thought it might be useful to learn about some of the ways that other couples had set out the rules for themselves. After all, there is no "right way" to have a relationship. And I was glad I did because it gave me some new ideas, some new ways of thinking about my own relationship. Why do we continue to follow the scripts given to us by society anyway? Why can't we make up our own rules? What an idea. Of course, we would want to find someone so loving, so unthreatened by a free soul who cannot be captured as Joe.
Joe watches Shannon as if she were a beautiful butterfly that he was lucky to observe, not trying to capture her, not trying to force her into a net, just appreciating her as she was. And Shannon, being the unusual person that she was, could not have tolerated it any other way, and he seemed to know that. They had a beautiful relationship that I was privileged to learn from.
The Topsail Accord brought me feelings of peaceful serenity as I accompanied Shannon and Joe on their interesting journey of love and romance. I enjoyed the long walks on the beach with them, the adventures at the lighthouses and the exotic jungle experiences in Costa Rica. I, like Joe, stood in fascinated awe and watched this interesting creature Shannon who seemed to change and become like the scenic places they visited.
The Topsail Accord is very well written, has a simplicity of style that almost reminds me of Hemmingway. I felt at peace with the flow of the language, the descriptions of the places and adventures, the portaits of the characters and the slow, leisurely pace of the story.
