4.5 stars
On an unidentified island a group of people have lived for many generations. They believe the mainland has been destroyed by disease and fire, and they have their own governance that promotes very restrictive and dangerous behavior towards the daughters. This book is told from the perspective of several of the girls and is haunting, disturbing but also eerily realistic. It is the most absorbing book that I have read in a long time, and while (especially as a mother to a girl) the material is very horrific it is written in a way that is palatable. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
