These Granite Islands
Our October, 2002 book, "These Granite Islands" by Sarah Stonich.
From The Publisher
On her deathbed, Isobel - hat maker, wife, and mother - recalls the haunting and fateful summer of 1936 when her world was transformed. After her husband Victor takes their sons away for the summer to a remote island, Isobel meets Cathryn, a woman who will forever change the way she looks at life. An intimate story of friendship, a portrait of marriage, and a glimpse into the depths of loss, the events of this summer become the prism that refracts the essence of Isobel's life. This is a gorgeous debut, a true literary page-turner.
