Description
"Wind from the Carolinas" by Robert Wilder, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1964.
Hard boards, blind embossed decoration on front board, gold lettering on spine; [a little shelf wear]; 5.1/2" x 8.1/2"; small private book label with bared name inside front cover [see photo]; the front endpaper is creased at the hinge, 567 pages on cream color paper, very good condition.
"Rich character development, the competing philosophies of the times, and the eternal weaknesses of human nature are all explored in this excellent, warm, and charmingly written tome. Would that all Americans were aware of the ideas and passions explored herein."
"A powerful novel of the old Bahamas" A must read for anyone who cruises or dreams of cruising in the Bahamas. This is a big, bold, best-selling novel that traces the remarkable saga of one family through war and peace, love and disaster. Here is the fabulous story of the Camerons, the aristocratic Tory clan who fled the South in the wake of the American Revolution to rebuild their baronial plantations and recapture their lost fortune in the turbulent, windswept Bahamas Islands."
"I read this book as a teenager, and loved it so much I managed to hold on to the copy throughout the years. I just turned 65, and have re-read it while self-isolating during our coronavirus pandemic. I love this book just as much 45 years later. Coincidentally, I now live in Charleston, South Carolina and have visited the Bahamas a number of times on vacation. It's an excellent book. Very well written, and gives a great historical perspective on both locations. Highly recommend this book." [a private review]
