Description
Lighthouse Island A Novel by Paulette Jiles is set in a far future world where the population has exploded and the earth is crowded with cities. Water is rationed, and freedom is scarce, except for an elite few. In this literary dystopian tale, an orphan named Nadia Stepan dreams of escape to a green vacation spot called Lighthouse Island. When an opportunity arises, she embarks on a dangerous adventure that takes her north towards a place of wild beauty. Along the way, she meets a man who changes the course of her life: James Orotov, a mapmaker and demolition expert. Together, they evade arrest and head towards their destination, driven by hope and a desire for freedom.
