Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Eternal on the Water

From the day Cobb and Mary meet kayaking on Maine's Allagash River and fall deeply in love, the two approach life with the same sense of adventure they use to conquer the river's treacherous rapids. But rivers do not let go so easily...and neither does their love. So when Mary's life takes the cruelest turn, she vows to face those rough waters on her own terms and asks Cobb to promise, when the time comes, to help her return to their beloved river for one final journey.

Set against the rugged wilderness of Maine, the exotic islands of Indonesia, the sweeping panoramas of Yellowstone National Park, and the tranquil villages of rural New England, Eternal on the Water is at once heartbreaking and uplifting — a timeless, beautifully rendered story of true love's power.

Critique Of Books Eternal on the Water

I'm conflicted about this book. It was recommended by one reviewer as the one book she would want with her if she were "stranded on a desert island". On the one hand, it really is beautifully written. It takes place mostly with nature as the backdrop, and is told from the perspective of a Thoreau-loving professor (what's not to like there?) On the other hand, it's one of those "soul-mate" romances, complete with intimate scenes that most people find completely acceptable. but that I would rather

I love love stories and this one is wonderful! And sad, and uplifting, and hearbreaking, and amazingly well written. I find it easy to read a story where characters are truly kind, interesting and thoughtful people who face challenges most of us would not have to face. From the start we know that Mary dies. The story then begins with Cobb and Mary meeting as they each begin journeys by canoe on the Allagash River in Maine. She is a scientist studying crows, he a teacher in an elite, private

There was much to love about this book especially if you are a fan of heavy, thought-provoking fiction with vivid sensory detail. A love story at its core, this novel is narrated by a nature-loving teacher named Cobb and is steeped in scientific study of the natural sciences (just the right amount to keep the reader reading and to lend credibility to the various environmental themes). Rooted in science and sprinkled with folklore, the novel spoke to my own environmentally sensitive side,

The author has talent and he drew me into the story. I believe I would read another book by this author because the potential is there. This particular story rubbed me the wrong way with its fairy-tale romance, the atheistic, mother-nature view of life and the promotion of basically euthanasia when life becomes difficult. What's admirable about a heroine who basically checks out.It would have been a better story, in my opinion, with some real life struggles.

I liked this book, but I didn't LOVE this book. It did make me cry 😢



This book grabbed my attention from page one and it never let go, not once.I instantly loved Mary and Cobb, The Chungamunga Girls, Wally, Francis, Turtle Freddy, their parents. I even enjoyed all the smaller characters that were a part of Mary and Cobb's journey through their life together. I thought Joseph did a wonderful job telling Mary's story of living with Huntington's disease. I think the disease and it's effects were told with compassion by Joseph.On top of the amazing love story, there
