Lute by Jennifer Marie Thorne
5.0
This cover immediately caught my eye in the store and I got it on my Libby list, I ended up swapping between audio and the ebook and finished it very quickly.
Lute is an island off the coast of England, blessed for 7 years at a time. No one dies, the weather is wonderful, no poverty or hunger, except The Day. The Day is every 7 years where 7 islanders die, as tithe for the good fortunes.
Nina is an outsider, she met Hugh on a ship during the last tithe. She was spending time with her grandmother during her own unfortunate life, and Hugh being the heir to the lordship of Lute island is hiding from The Day. She moved to the island, starts a family by having 2 children, and becoming the lady of the island.
We go through the day, the chapters spaced out by the time, as Nina very quickly accepts that the tithe is real.
