Description

"We were like those little plastic dogs with magnets glued to their bottoms, my father and I," writes Roy Attaway in this evocative memoir set in the rich Lowcountry of South Carolina. "We were deeply attracted to each other (he was extraordinarily affectionate) from many angles, but face to face we always seemed to repel, sometimes with a nearly ugly vehemence." A Home in the Tall Marsh Grass - the title is from an old Gullah spiritual - is about affection and rebellion, about a teenager's instinctive duty to do everything he can to annoy his parents, about a clash of interests, differing goals, and one thing that bound together father and son: fishing. Together they explored and fished the saltwater marshes of Beaufort County, but their expeditions also took them into the tannin-stained swamps of Colleton and Charleston counties and the rice fields of the Combahee River. Together they fished the Atlantic beaches and the mountain streams of western North Carolina. Perhaps because - beyond the conflicts - they loved each other so deeply, each could be wounded profoundly and quickly by the other. A Home in the Tall Marsh Grass is a fond remembrance of a relationship that is both unique and every son's, but it is also an attempt at expiation, the exorcism of personal ghosts. And it is a moving Lowcountry elegy.

- Verified Buyer
This was a great portrait of one family's experiences in the South Carolina low country during the years of and following the Second World War. This book would be most interesting to those residing in that section of the country or perhaps those with family ties there. If you are looking for fishing stories there are not a lot in this book. The author's fishing experiences with his father take up only a small part of the book.
