AN ISLAND BY KAREN JENNINGS
Another great book, and writing let down by weak execution. I totally understand why it was not the booker favourite of many in 2021. Samuel, the 70-year-old lighthouse keeper, is the sole resident of his island after having fled from the mainland. He cooks for himself, cleans and maintains the lighthouse, feeds his hens, tends to his farmland and occasionally disposes off the bodies of refugees that wash up on the shore.
