Description:WINNER OF THE 2017 DRUE HEINZ LITERATURE PRIZESelected by David Gates William Wall is the first international winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize. “Suddenly I see weeks that are like years stretch out before me. Islands are, more than anything else, places of deprivation.” Jeannie, one of the sisters featured in The Islands, comes to this realization at the age of six or seven, as her father leaves their island home yet again to work on his latest book.In this collection of interconnected stories, the beautiful and ravaging forces of sea and land collide with the forces of human nature, through isolation and family, love and loss, madness and revelation. The stories follow the lives of two sisters and the people who come and go in their lives, much like the tides. Dominated by the tragic loss of a third sister at a young age, their family spirals out of control. We witness three stages of the sisters’ lives, each taking place on an island—in southwest Ireland, southern England, and the Bay of Naples. Beautifully and sparsely written, the stories deeply evoke landscape and character, and are suffused with a keen eye for detail and metaphor.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
