W. Norton & Company, $c [2023] 300 $a 221 pages ; $c 24 cm. 520 $a In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. Over a century later, the Honeysâ descendants and a diverse group of neighbors are desperately poor, isolated, and often hungry, but nevertheless protected from the hostility awaiting them on the mainland. During the tumultuous summer of 1912, Matthew Diamond, a retired, idealistic but prejudiced schoolteacher-turned-missionary, disrupts the communityâs fragile balance through his efforts to educate its children. His presence attracts the attention of authorities on the mainland who, under the influence of the eugenics-thinking popular among progressives of the day, decide to forcibly evacuate the island, institutionalize its residents, and develop the island as a vacation destination. Beginning with a hurricane flood reminiscent of the story of Noahâs Ark, the novel ends with yet another Ark. 541 $d 20230118. 650 1 $a Islands $x Fiction. 650 1 $a Missionaries $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Land developers $v Fiction. 651 $a Maine $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 54 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043652.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403014020.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240402013552.0 952 $l EAPA384 $d 20240312155721.0 952 $l HMPB845 $d 20240309010418.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021833.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20240201010348.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240123010214.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119020720.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20240118010805.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014235.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012506.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032847.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025015020.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20231014010322.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032153.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20231005012954.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20230831010107.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230823010707.0 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20230818021405.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230802013817.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230802013155.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230725010803.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011412.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20230620010515.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230606010949.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20230602011042.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20230523011938.0 952 $l ZAPB232 $d 20230519014013.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230519013744.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010534.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20230428010822.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20230421010158.0 952 $l STPC124 $d 20230418020138.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20230404010121.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20230329011526.0 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20230329011102.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20230329010924.0 952 $l GNPB062 $d 20230329010717.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230302012457.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230224010555.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230222010151.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230221011336.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20230208014812.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20230207012530.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230204010830.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230203011317.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20230203011106.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230203010616.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010243.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230202011210.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230202010312.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20230127010528.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230124010138.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D68D6E349BB411EDB33124244DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
