Book Review of The Water Is Wide

The Water Is Wide
reviewed on + 42 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 5


Rarely do I give books a "10" rating. Pat Conroy's true tale of teaching on an island off South Carolina is an amusing and sometimes depressing story of teaching in a community that isn't as open to education than the administration would like you to think. I found myself wanting to go back into the classroom to perform miraclesd, too.
