Description: The Fourth Island by Sarah Tolmie Award-winning author Sarah Tolmies The Fourth Island is a beautiful, mournful historical fantasy FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Fourth Island is a moving and unforgettable story of life and death on the hidden Irish island of Inis Caillte.Huddled in the sea off the coast of Ireland is a fourth Aran Island, a secret island peopled by the lost, findable only in moments of despair. Whether drowned at sea, trampled by Cromwells soldiers, or exiled for clinging to the dead, no outsiders reach the island without giving in to dark emotion.Time and again, The Fourth Island weaves a hypnotic pattern with its prose, presaging doom before walking back through the sweet and sour moments of lives not yet lost. It beautifully melds the certainty of loss with the joys of living, drawing readers under like the tide.

A truly memorable story, beautifully crafted." --Juliet Marillier, author of the Warrior Bards series "The contemplative style, low stakes, and small cast is reminiscent of Ursula K. Le Guins Earthsea Cycle and is worthy of the association." --Publishers Weekly "The Fourth Island is an absolute gem of a story, full of wonder, melancholy and no little wisdom." --Peadar Ó Guilín "Part charm, part history, part ravishing spell in itself, The Fourth Island is the best kind of ghost story, reminding us of all the good and the bad in the world. I loved this book." --Helen Marshall Promotional Award-winning author Sarah Tolmies The Fourth Island is a beautiful, mournful historical fantasy Review Quote " The Fourth Island is both beguiling and unsettling, both mythic and earthy.
