Description

Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed is an exceptional debut novel that explores a unique and intriguing world. On a small isolated island, a community lives by its own rules, with boys destined to take charge and girls expected to be married and pregnant within moments of womanhood.

Before their assigned roles are fulfilled, the children are given a rare reprieve each summer, where they can roam free, sleep on the beach, and build camps in trees. But one summer's end, one of the younger girls discovers a truth that could upend their island world forever.

This skilful novel is full of suspense, with a richly envisioned world that slowly reveals its secrets. With its dark heart and beautifully realised prose, Gather the Daughters is a gripping read that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
