The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger is a gripping non-fiction account of the 1991 “Halloween Nor’easter” that struck the North Atlantic. Centred on the Gloucester fishing boat Andrea Gail, the book explores the lives of its crew and the immense power of nature. Junger combines meteorology, oceanography and personal stories to reconstruct events leading up to the vessel’s disappearance. It’s a harrowing tribute to fishermen and a powerful narrative about courage, fate and the sea’s unforgiving force.
