A novel reminiscent of the classics - Steinbeck and Dickens. This story is about the resilience of the human spirit. It takes place on an island - once a ideal place to live - now ravaged by war. An outcast is the only person to step up and try to teach the children in the aftermath. A reminder of our quest to learn and grow even during the worst of times.
While the violence is always in the background, it is shocking and profoundly unexpected when it occurs close to home. I did not see it coming and maybe this author intended it that way to make it so shocking and seem so out of place.
This is not a story you will soon forget. It is moving and shocking while heartwarming and uplifting at the same time.
