Description

Of Time and an IslandThirty years ago, John Keats and his family purchased a two acre island in the St. Lawrence River, at a time when boats were still lovingly crafted of wood and an island could be had for $4,000. Depending on the elements and on their own resourcefulness, the Keats family thrives in the rhythms of island life fishing, learning to navigate the river and read the clouds for weather, acquiring an "Indian" view of time, maintaining a house, several boats,

Thirty years ago, John Keats and his family purchased a two-acre island in the St. Lawrence River, at a time when boats were still lovingly crafted of wood and an island could be had for $4,000. Depending on the elements and on their own resourcefulness, the Keats family thrives in the rhythms of island life-fishing, learning to navigate the river and read the clouds for weather, acquiring an "Indian" view of time, maintaining a house, several boats, and three children on a windswept rock. But more than a book about a single family's adventures, this one is strong witness that we all need islands of our own in the midst of life. Originally published in 1974, Of Time and an Island was chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club alternate selection.

Description not clear
So these are like exfoliation sponges - with a handle. I throughly they were cloths. I was surprised to see that when it arrived. Also, it said “assorted colors,” so I expected 3 different colors. We got 2 orange and 1 green. Also, I’m not sure how to keep these clean. We ran one through the wash, but it got soft and exfoliated less. But, it is like a sponge, so I don’t completely trust it to stay clean. It works, though. I like the handle especially. It exfoliates nicely, without feeling like sand paper. A couple other brands I tried are either way too rough or too soft. This was just right. Can be used on the face. Just wish the description was clearer
