[1973], Vanguard Press Call No: Travel Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: Is there anyone who has not dreamed of slipping quietly out the side door of society to seek peace and happiness on some remote island? THE ISLAND is the exciting, humorous, and sometimes eloquent story of a family - the Robert Russells- that pursued such a dream. Their modern Hesperides are the Thousand Islands in the great St. Lawrence River. With one hand Mr. Russell keeps a firm but delicate hold on the beauty and poetry of that romantic setting; with the other he maintains a strong grasp on the desperately practical details of building an island life. That Mr. Russell happens to be blind is only a fact, and not one he expolits to win the reader's pity or admiration. It does, however, determine how he perceives his surroundings as well as the way he can act. To read THE ISLAND is to join him to experience as he experiences. And to do this is to discover that, even though one is stripped of one's sight, the world is still a place rich in love, humor, tragedy and glory. But, most of all, joy.
