Shore Lit Summer Bookclub: On the Tobacco Coast by Christopher Tilghman
Christopher Tilghman’s new novel, On the Tobacco Coast (FSG), is the final installment in his revered Mason family series, which is set on the Eastern Shore and based on the Queen Anne property that has been in his family since the 17th century. The novel addresses themes of history, environment, race, and land legacy that are deeply relevant to our local community.
