involved and difficult to understand. Do you know why
they are so complex? The complexity arises from the desire

neighborhoods and six condominium complexes. Each have
their own unique features and standards. While that creates
complexity, it also provides a very attractive community.

What We Are Reading
Ridge Crouch
I never did get Shakespeare. Oh, he pioneered all the themes
we still use today: murder, betrayal, lust, and treacherous
deeds, but why not just say it instead of disguising the plot
and dialogue in mysterious inferences. We all had English
teachers who saw things that made us scratch our heads and
say, “The witches were what??” Nothing so abstract for our
Book Clubs, but they do offer some good choices this month.

It’s All About the Book - “The Water is Wide” by Pat Conroy.
A 1972 memoir based on the Author’s work as a teacher on           Sunrise at 6AM, Cherry Grove Pier. Sometimes this is the
Daufuskie Island, SC. The book details Conroy’s efforts to         reason I get up at o’ dark thirty. Fishermen will understand

He battles the district administration who have long neglected
the students and other problems at the school.                     Tidewater Wildlife
The Not So Serious Bookies - “The Book of Lost Friends”            Claudia Beaty
by Lisa Wingate. An historical novel of three young women
searching for family amid the destruction of the post-Civil War
South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story
and its vital connection to her students’ lives.
The Book Club Beauties - “Eternal” by Elsa Scottoline.
Elisabetta, Marco and Sandro grow up as best friends in
Fascist Italy prior to WWII. Their friendship blossoms into love
at a time when Mussolini aligns with Hitler and everything
they hold dear is tested in ways they could never imagine.
The Studs - “Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen” by Sarah
Bird. Born into bondage on a tobacco farm in MO, Miss Cathy
Williams was never allowed to consider herself a slave. At
war’s end, having tasted freedom, Cathy refuses to return to
servitude and decides to disguise herself as a man and join the
Army’s legendary Buffalo Soldiers.
Personal Recommendation - “A Brief History of Seven
Killings” by Marlon James. A winner of the Man Booker Prize,
tells the story of seven unnamed gunmen who stormed the
home of singer Bob Marley, machine guns blazing. Little was        Love the Wildlife in Tidewater!
