An Island Away
An Island Away: A Novel | Daniel Putkowski
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
In Aruba, far from the tourists, lies a refinery boomtown of brothels and flexible morality. A young Colombian mother works as a prostitute to pay her family's debt. She encounters an American expatriate looking to perpetuate his flamboyant youth. Together they find a tugboat captain, washed ashore and barely alive after his ship sinks in a storm. An Island Away uncovers the flip side of paradise where hard choices are made and lives change forever. Original.

#Readingtheamericas2023 #aruba Beautiful, smart prostitute with heart of gold and the men (on Aruba) who loved her. Slow and at 490 pages seemingly endless. I skipped over sex scenes and it was still endless. Some of the characters well drawn, some two dimensional. The good thing was it really did give me a look at Aruba. The bad thing was it felt like a waste of time. Ah well, on to Ecuador..
