The author gets so much wrong it is nearly unreadable. She gets all that praise for describing the marshes, birds, etc., but none of it is authentic. Neither the geography, the shellfish, the people, and the WEATHER! The hurricanes, starting with Hazel, wiped out almost everything that was on the water.

The movie was filmed on the Gulf because nowhere in NC matched the descriptions.
