Devoured this book in a few hours. I adored The Island and was so excited when I heard of a sequel. It’s beautiful and I loved getting back in touch with the characters. Not a lot actually happens in it, it's more of a 'tying-up of ends' sort of story so wasn't as exciting or powerful as her other novels but still an enjoyable read.
