Stormy Seas: Stories of Young Boat Refugees | Mary Beth Leatherdale

pick

#MayMontage Day 12: #ReadDuringStorm - featuring 5 stories in all from different countries across different time periods. I find this to be very effective as the narratives are also juxtaposed against a historical timeline (starting from the 1600s to 2016) of various people migrating from one country to another, traveling by boat - either caused by famine, war, terrorism, persecution among others.

Read this at the beginning of Super Storm Sandy. Don't remember a damn thing about it. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't like it or because that damn storm was so traumatic 🤷🏻‍♀️

Eggs It would be hard to concentrate with the anxiety/trauma of such a devastating storm ⛈️ 2y

TheBookgeekFrau @AmyG I lived in Putnam County, NY. No power for 10 days and couldn't get out of my road four days. Luckily we had a generator but had to conserve propane bc the propane co didn't know when it would be able to get their trucks on the road. So thankful that was our biggest worry after all was said and done. 2y

TheBookgeekFrau @Eggs The wind was unreal. We all slept in the living room for worry of trees coming down and crashing into the upstairs bedrooms. Thankfully, nothing like that happened 2y

AmyG @TheBookgeekFrau The wind! My husband was Mayor of our town and he was out with the police driving around town. I was a nervous wreck that a tree would fall on our house. In the morning we saw that one fell on the house across the street. 2y

TheBookgeekFrau @AmyG Your husband is a brave man! Just hearing the wind was scary enough, I couldn't imagine being out in it!!!! 2y

DefLeppard @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I did, my niece and I read it aloud together as part of her schoolwork, we got snowed in so did part of it by video call. We also later watched the movie. 😊 (edited) 2y

For me, any EAP story is perfect for a storm, especially USHER: “The impetuous fury of the entering gust nearly lifted us from our feet. It was, indeed, a tempestuous yet sternly beautiful night, and one wildly singular in its terror and its beauty.“ His storms are characters in the stories. One's even entitled “The Maelstrom.“ #poelover

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I agree!! 2y

Eggs Absolutely 💯 2y
