Description
Longlisted for the 2021 Booker Prize, An Island concerns lives lived on the margins, through the story of a man who has exiled himself from the known world only to find himself called to the service of others, themselves exiled by cruelty and circumstance. Samuel, a solitary old lighthouse keeper on a small island, finds his solitude threatened when a young refugee washes up on the shore.
The arrival of the stranger triggers memories of Samuel’s former life on the mainland, where his country fought for independence, only to fall under a cruel dictatorship. The novel explores themes of loss, political upheaval, identity, and the meaning of home. As Samuel reflects on what land truly means, and to whom it should belong, he begins to confront his own role in the history of his homeland.
This gripping, terrifying, and unforgettable story tackles guilt, fear, friendship, rejection, and ultimately, the true meaning of home.
