Through the eyes of ten-year-old Gabriel, one is transported into the countryside not too far from Paris. In many ways a young woman and in other ways still a child, Gabriel has read Middlemarch and Anna Karenina, but doesn’t know quite what to make of her own father’s quiet announcement that, while he still loves Gabriel’s mother, he’s also in love with another woman.
A second novel by the acclaimed author of Angels in the Morning, The Forgotten Island is a lush work of suspense viewed through the refracted lens of childhood memory. At the pivotal age of ten, Helen, along with her Ileana and their parents leave home in Paris to spend a summer on a Mediterranean island-an island full of exotic beauty, but marred by a series of mysterious tragedies. At once ingenuous and observant, Helen recounts from the sidelines the eerie events that ultimately lead to her sister's disappearance.
