About this product

Product Information

A "miraculous" ( Newsweek ) human drama, based on a true story, from the renowned author of The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini The island is nearly deserted, haunting, beautiful. Across a slip of ocean lies South Carolina. But for the handful of families on Yamacraw Island, America is a world away. For years the people here lived proudly from the sea, but now its waters are not safe. Waste from industry threatens their very existence unless, somehow, they can learn a new way. But they will learn nothing without someone to teach them, and their school has no teacher--until one man gives a year of his life to the island and its people. Praise for The Water Is Wide "Miraculous . . . an experience of joy." -- Newsweek "A powerfully moving book . . . You will laugh, you will weep, you will be proud and you will rail . . . and you will learn to love the man." -- Charleston News and Courier "A hell of a good story." -- The New York Times "Few novelists write as well, and none as beautifully." -- Lexington Herald-Leader "[Pat] Conroy cuts through his experiences with a sharp edge of irony. . . . He brings emotion, writing talent and anger to his story." --Baltimore Sun

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Pat Conroy's "The Water Is Wide" Is A Must-Read!!!!

    This book is a 'must read' for Conroy fans - and for others who certainly will become fans of the author after reading this book!! An autobiographical work, this book tells of Conroy's experiences teaching in a tiny Gullah school on a South Carolina coastal island (Daufuskie Island) that could be reached only by boat; however, the cultural differences between those inhabiting the island and those on the mainland (especially considering the racial bias of the school officials overseeing the island school) were considerable - thus the very meaningful title of the book. The young Conroy attempted not only to provide the expected education to the students but also to provide them with basic life skills and some cultural enlightenment. The book provides a meaningful, often humorous, 'read'!! ...

  • Why would I review the title of a book written by Pat Conroy?

    I love this book and had lent it to someone, it never came back so there was a book missing in my Pat Conroy collection. It's a wonderful book, like all of his.
