Join Joanna Gilman Hyde for a reading of her late mother’s book.
McNutt’s Island Journal is Elizabeth Walden Hyde’s candid record of her life on this small island off Shelburne, Nova Scotia, from September 1984 to May 1985. During what her daughter called her mother’s “hazardous, solitary adventure” in a farmhouse with no electricity or plumbing, Elizabeth grapples daily with the long lists of tasks to be completed: fencing for the garden, log-splitting for the wood stove, painting boats, digging for water, repairing her sewing machine, and fixing the fridge among them, not to mention checking on her sheep.
