pickOver the last few years I‘ve read quite a few books set on tiny remote islands, has this become a new genre? I think I‘ve liked every one I‘ve read, so I am in favor.
Set on a tiny island off the Wales coast, 18 yr old Manod lives with her father and young sister in a fishing village. A whale washes ashore, and two strangers come to study it and the villagers. Takes place just before WWII, and I felt Manod‘s yearning to escape isolation.
Librarybelle I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one. This is on my “favorite reads this year” list. 2mo
Bookwormjillk You are right about the tiny island genre I think. Maybe a reaction to covid isolation? 2mo
