Las ballenas de agosto (1987)
El paso del tiempo ha consolidado una sincera amistad entre las ancianas Sarah Webbber y Libby Strong, por encima de su condición de hermanas. Una isla de Maine es el lugar donde se han reunido cada verano durante más de sesenta años. Ambas son viudas, pero no olvidan los días en que eran jóvenes y corrían por la playa para ver surgir del mar a las grandes ballenas. Entonces estaban llenas de ilusiones. Ya ancianas, han permanecido unidas por una doble y mutua dependencia. Sin embargo, la ceguera que padece Libby la hace cada vez más antipática e irascible; Sarah, en cambio, conserva una imperturbable serenidad. El señor Maranov, un caballero de origen ruso, y el obrero Joshua Brackett, constiuyen el contrapunto masculino a un mundo de recuerdos y evocaciones de juventud.
