6/29/2023 0 Comments The Great Wide Sea by M.H. HerlongThe crew is three brothers who have varying degrees of hostility toward their dad and one another. This is a teeny, tiny, leaky boat called the Chrysalis, captained by a grieving father who may or may not be in touch with reality. Sounds lovely, doesn't it?Įxcept…well, it ain't exactly a Carnival cruise. The setup: a father and his three boys take a year off to sail around the Bahamas. Oh, that was just what happens in The Great Wide Sea, otherwise known as The Book That Will Make You Happy You Live Safely on Land in Denver/Duluth/Detroit, Even in Mid-February. The roar of an angry Atlantic storm as it fills your boat, forcing you to spend the next weeks on an abandoned cay eating iguana… The gentle "plop" of a coconut as it falls onto the soft sand. Your nose is perpetually cold, your sweatshirt has begun to smell ever so faintly of wet dog, and you're beginning to think that you'll never feel the sensation of hot sun on your skin ever again. Hot chocolate has begun to taste like chalk. There's a point in midwinter that everyone hates.
