Book Review: A nautical thriller furls its romantic sails

Into the rigging, readers! The title and cleared-for-action dust jacket of S. Thomas Russell’s “Take, Burn or Destroy” pretty much signals a good nautical actioner in the tradition of C.S.

Dine Out Maine: Abbondante gently coaxes diners away from typical Italian fare

Diners lamenting the demise of Kennebunk’s Grissini Italian Bistro have reason to celebrate. In its place is now Abbondante Trattoria and Bar.

Brit Marling, who played a cult leader claiming to be a prophetess from the future in “Sound of My Voice,” takes a look at the other side of the equation in “The East,” an audacious thriller about a cultish gang of anarchists who set out to punish those poisoning the planet and the people on […]

Art Review: Lose yourself at sea … at Elizabeth Moss

At first glance, “Surface, Light and Structure” looks like a particularly strong show of sea-oriented landscapes.
