After reading this, one can understand Timothy's motivations for putting up with Philip the way he did in The Cay. This prequel/sequel gives you a new perspective on his death on that island in The Cay. I now see it as a sweet ending to Timothy's life, that he can look back at his mistakes and know that he's made amends. Being stranded together on that cay actually had been the most important thing that had ever happened to both of them! I enjoyed seeing a mature, likable Phillip!

I loved it and would give 4.5 stars. I have to admit I was skeptical about a prequel-sequel. But it filled in all the blanks in such a moving way.

If you have read The Cay this is a must read. This book is a prequel/sequel to The Cay. Some chapters are dedicated to Timothy's past and some to Phillip's efforts to regain his sight with a very risky operation. It is a good book with a very satisfying ending.
