An Island by Karen Jennings
4.0
I want to thank @netgalley for the ARC of this book and the opportunity to review it.
It is a short book, but packs a big punch. Samuel lives alone on an island as a retired lighthouse keeper. He is from a neighboring African country that is rife with political turmoil. Often bodies wash up that are trying to escape. One day, a young man washes up on the Island. As Samuel tries to decide if he can trust this man, he flashes back to his time in his home country. The prose for this book is fantastic. It is a novel about trust and fear.
