kaylapearl 's review for:
Island of the Lost: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World
by Joan Druett
An insightful story about the struggles and hardships behind being shipwrecked without the fantastical element that so many well known fictional stories carry. The book carries an interesting examination into the success of one crew and utter failings of another, and how different approaches taken by each sides yielded their results.
Overall I think the story was well researched and excellently wove together the multiple accounts that were made from those that experienced those long, hard months/years of isolation in a forlorn part of the world.
Without listing any spoilers, I will say I was quite surprised when I discovered that one of the survivors actually emigrated and ended up living in the same place as my fathers family lived, an extremely small community in remote Northern Ontario.
