The Water Is Wide Related Titles

In one sense, all of Conroy's works are related by place (coastal South Carolina), by dysfunctional families, and by their autobiographical elements.

The canon of Conroy's work reveals a family chronicle; the names of the characters may change from book to book, but the evolving psychological portraits taken as a whole portray Conroy's principal theme of the relationship of the alienated individual to family and society.
