The island holds little more than a house, although admittedly a big one for this remote territory, and strangely shaped too, with eight sides and no real corners, two levels, many windows – ridiculous anywhere but especially here, where you need a fire most of the year. “ A bizarre but strangely uplifting book about a woman’s quest for freedom… the perfect escapist yet intellectual read.” The TimesĪ woman is sent to an island for a summer. ![]()
