A few web sites besides the publisher’s published previews of the book prior to its October 1 release. This passages caught my attention:
“The Drowning of Money Island is an intimate yet unbiased
, lyrical yet investigative rediscovery of a rural hometown ravaged by sea level rise and economic hardship, and the increasingly divisive politics those factors have helped spawn. In the end, the book offers a glimpse of the future of coastal retreat in America—a future in which the wealthy will be able to remain while the poor will be forced to leave”.
