'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. 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 of them longs to escape -
to go beyond the borders and circumstances that have contained them
for so long - but each finds that they are trapped by a history
found only in whispers and half-remembered fragments; and that it
is dictating a future over which they have little control. With
every passing decade another generation must contend with the same
doubts about their identity, about their place in the small world
they have carved out for themselves and the same question: how can
the things we don't know define our futures? Perfect for fans of
Girl, Woman, Other and Homegoing, THE ISLAND OF FORGETTING is a
powerful story of family and hope, and marks the arrival of a
stunning new voice in literary fiction. THE TIMES FICTION BOOK OF
