‘Inventive, excellent … a pure pleasure to read’ THE TIMES In
this compelling debut, an unknowable legacy passes through
generations of one family living on the beautiful island of
Barbados. In this compelling debut, an unknowable legacy passes
through generations of one family living on the beautiful island of
Barbados. There is Iapetus, a lonely soul haunted by the memory of
his father; his son Atlas, dreaming of a life far removed from his
reality; Atlas’s daughter Calypso, struggling to find her place
in an unforgiving society; and her son Nautilus, grappling with
various parts of a complex identity. Each longs to escape their
circumstances but find themselves trapped by a history found only
in whispers and half-remembered fragments. And with every passing
decade, another generation must contend with the same question: how
can the things we don’t know define our futures? Spanning fifty
years, The Island of Forgetting is a powerful saga of family and
hope that marks the arrival of a stunning new voice in literary
fiction. THE TIMES FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH
