A private island off the coast of England is the setting for the new book The Women Of Pearl Island. It’s the follow-up to last years awesome The Book Of Hidden Wonders. I didn’t find it as good as last years novel but it’s a solid story, with many twists and you learn a lot about butterflies and silk.
Tartelin lost her mother 2 months ago to cancer and she has answered an ad for an assistant to Marianne who lives on the island. She’s a recluse and at first Tartelin doesn’t know what to make of her. The house is old and the island has been in Marianne’s family for a long time. There’s no electricity and is kind of spooky. One of her jobs is to collect butterflies to be studied and slowly secrets about the island and Marianne’s past start to come out. Just what did happen years ago to her, her family and the creatures of this island?
You can pick up The Women Of Pearl Island in stores on Tuesday, December 7th from Park Row.
