The Fourth Island by Sarah Tolmie

3.0

The Fourth Island is not the kind of book where there is a set character focus or story being told. It winds in and out of various lives to tell the tale of the island as a whole, and how it relates to the inhabitants and their connections off the island. Tolmie does an excellent job of creating a lively narrative that gracefully flows from point to point. I love the concept, but I will be the first to admit that I struggle with works that do not feel like they have a beginning, middle, and end. That should not detract others from enjoying this novella. There is a lot here to like.
