This weekend, the Martha’s Vineyard Book Festival takes place in the island towns of Edgartown and Chilmark, Massachusetts.

Here & Now co-host Jeremy Hobson sits down with two writers, Ward Just and Laura Wainwright, who both make the Vineyard their home year-round.

They talk about the distractions of being in a place that’s a tourist haven three months of the year, as well as the beauties of living on the island.

Guests

Ward Just, author of 17 novels and several short stories. He is also a former war correspondent.
Laura Wainwright, author of “Home Bird: Four Seasons on Martha’s Vineyard.”
