Description

One sister found the courage to leave, the other must find the courage to live … From the Caribbean to 1950s London, an epic story of finding home, Island Song is an atmospheric and lyrical debut of compelling storytelling, for fans of Louise Hare and Kristin Hannah. Is one sister’s dream the other’s sacrifice? Agnes Deterville, growing up in the shadow of post-war hardships on the Caribbean island of St.

Lucia, dreams of a new life in England, far away from her small village.

Ella, her sister, cautious and watchful, is wary of the world beyond the shores of their sheltered existence. When Agnes is employed as a housekeeper for the wife of an English civil servant, her aspirations take on a new urgency, but in her desperation, she makes a promise that is hard to keep.

While Agnes hungrily pursues a different future from the one mapped out for the Deterville sisters, her destiny will be forever tied to those she leaves behind. Will the price of her dreams be one worth paying?
