Book of the Week #52

Snow Island by Katherine Towler (San Francisco: MacAdam/Cage Publishers, 2002)

Snow Island is the story of two strangers who inhabit the same remote island off the New England coast and who find their lives shaped by events that happen far from their small community as America is drawn into World War II. This was Portsmouth resident Katherine Towler's first novel.
"Graceful... Towler's strength is her deft rendering of time and place. Lyrical and gentle, Alice's wartime coming-of-age - and the island itself - continues to resonate after the last page." — Publishers Weekly
