The island child : a novel / Molly Aitken. by Aitken, Molly. Alfred A. Knopf, 2020. Call #: FICTION AIT Subjects Girls -- Fiction.   Islands -- Ireland -- Fiction.   Motherhood -- Fiction.   Women -- Social conditions -- Fiction.   Women -- Psychology -- Fiction.   Superstition -- Fiction.   Ireland -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780525658375 (hc.) Edition:  1st American ed. Description:  335 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  "A Borzoi Book"--T.p. verso. Summary:  "A spellbinding, deeply felt debut novel--haunting and poignant, soaring and gorgeously wrought--about motherhood, freedom, and our own power to shape our destinies. Oona grew up on the island of Inis: a wind-blasted rock off the coast of Ireland where the men went out on fishing boats and the women tended sheep; where the only book was the Bible; and where girls stayed at home until they became mothers themselves. Even as a child, Oona knew she wanted to leave, but she never could have anticipated the tumultuous turn of events that would ultimately compel her to flee. Now, after twenty years--Oona having forged a new life for herself--her daughter vanishes, forcing Oona to face her past in order, finally, to be free of it. Heralding a singularly gifted new voice in fiction, The Island Child is a timeless story of birth and betrayal, storms and shipwrecks and fairy children, and the weight of long-buried secrets"--Publisher.
