A review by laurajh77
An Island by Karen Jennings

3.0

This was ok. It’s pretty short and I can imagine it becoming quite a standard for analysis in exam years, given that there are many comparisons to be drawn between Samuel’s life before the island and the events of the few days on it. But it didn’t grab me. It’s beautifully written and evocative, sure, but it wasn’t the sort of thing I would be recommending to others.
