Description
The Islands
A moving and original debut novel, this story follows a small group of Finnish migrants as they set up camp on Little Rat, a tiny island in Western Australia's archipelago. Drawn by tragedy, the settlers find an allure in the stark beauty of the landscape and the slivers of jutting coral that support their precarious huts.
The novel explores the lives of Onni Saari, his wife Alva, and their daughter Hilda as they try to build a future in Australia. Their stories entwine with those of the fishing families on Little Rat in unexpected ways, revealing a search for home amidst isolation and aridity.
