Lonely Island Life

The Women of Pearl Island by Polly Crosby
Publication Date - December 7, 2021
3 stars

This novel follows two timelines; one in the early and mid 1900's and one current day both on the same isolated island.  A family has lived on this island for decades with an obsession with moths and butterflies.  In the current day, a grieving young artist comes to the island to serve as a personal assistant to an elderly woman.  This book has some beautiful descriptions of nature and the island.  I didn't feel completely attached to the characters and that somewhat affected my reading experience.  I would definitely check out further work by this author but this one was just okay for me.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
