Description
In this spellbinding novel, Paul Harding draws inspiration from historical events to illuminate the lives of those who sought refuge from a judgmental world. Set on Apple Island, an enclave for castaways, the story begins in the late 18th century with the arrival of Benjamin Honey, a formerly enslaved man, and his Irish wife, Patience. Their journey, and the lives of those who follow, form a powerful testament to resilience and the enduring human spirit in the face of societal intolerance. Harding's lyrical prose explores themes of belonging, freedom, and the quiet dignity of lives lived on the margins.
