It’s beautifully written. An amazing, wonder-filled look at Beaufort years ago, the cultures that make up South Carolina’s coastal regions, and how destructive and formative hurricanes are to coastal life. 

Based on writing alone I would give the book 5 stars. I was sucked in and couldn’t climb out. 

However, I have never felt so much anger and pain at the end of a book as I have with this one. Nothing mattered, nothing changed, no one wins - but that’s life.
