What is Time and Tide: A Walk Through Nantucket (Crown Journeys) about?

From Booklist Take a walk on the literary side with this ambling travelogue by acclaimed memoirist and longtime director of the Iowa Writer's Workshop. The latest in the Crown Journeys series that features well-known writers exploring a particular landscape, Conroy's prose excursion invites armchair travelers to savor the history and charm of this "small, relaxed oasis in the ocean." Blending memory and fact, the author's nuanced account traces the island's past, from its whaling days in the nineteenth century to its modern-day niche as a destination of the wealthy. Conroy, who first visited the Massachusetts island at the age of three, wanders among windswept moors, salt marshes, and cranberry bogs, reminiscing about the house he built on a tiny oceanfront plot; the jazz he played at the local bar bought with his friends; and time spent at Skinner's, a venerable golf course that cost a dollar a hole. Eloquent and bittersweet, *Time & Tide* is a celebration of Nantucket's enduring beauty and a nostalgic nod to the simple pleasures of its past. *Allison Block* *Copyright © American Library Association.
