The story of a broken marriage & the long term impacts on the children. Unfortunately the telling is so disjointed that it made little emotional impact on me beyond general sadness. I think the #IslandVibe here is the isolation of the characters & maybe the structure of the story - anecdotes across time & character like a scattered chain of islands across the sea. Or it‘s just that they spent summer holidays on Phillip Island 🤷🏻♀️ #ozfiction
