Discussion of the book The Water Is Wide by Pat Conroy. 272 pages. The island is nearly deserted, haunting, and beautiful. Across a slip of ocean lies South Carolina. But for the handful of families on Yamacraw Island, America is a world away. Here is Conroy's extraordinary drama based on his own experience–the true story of a man who gave a year of his life to an island and the new life its people gave him.
For copies of the book, phone 291-4821 or email Sue Madeo at smadeo@westportlibrary.org.
New participants always welcome.
