Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a delightful play that explores the tumultuous times in which it was written and leaves the reader with much to ponder. Set in the year 2020 in the British possession of Tarpon Island, just outside the three-mile boundary of the United States, the story follows a cast of Prohibition-era characters including the infamous bootlegger John Volstead and his son Jack, and the formidable Admiral Matilda Cabot of the United States Dry Navy. Rich in humor and historical detail, the author presents a series of comical events that nonetheless touch on themes of class, gender, and national identity that were prevalent during this period of American history, and still resonate today. Through these events, the author invites us to think about the complexities of family relationships, the effects of societal pressures on the individual, and the sacrifices that people are willing to make for love.
