Woman lives in Bayou on houseboat for 10 years.
Great memoir- I have revisited this book several times.
Gwen Roland and her boyfriend Cal spent nearly a decade in the Atchafalaya Basin on a houseboat they built themselves. Gwen and Cal lead simple but rich lives living off the bounty of the land and water. This memoir poetically describes the swamp and their daily lives. I love this book, and I find Gwen Carpenter Roland an inspiration, my kind of woman!
