The Women of Pearl Island
The Women of Pearl Island | Polly Crosby
5 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
"A luminous and beautiful novel that gently lures the reader into a captivating story with a mystery at its heart." Jennifer Saint, bestselling author of Ariadne Set on a secluded island off the British coast, The Women of Pearl Island is a moving and evocative story of family secrets, natural wonders and a mystery spanning decades. When Tartelin answers an ad for a personal assistant, she doesn't know what to expect from her new employer, Marianne, an eccentric elderly woman. Marianne lives on a remote island that her family has owned for generations, and for decades her only companions have been butterflies and tightly held memories of her family. But there are some memories Marianne would rather forget, such as when the island was commandeered by the British government during WWII. Now, if Marianne can trust Tartelin with her family's story, she might finally be able to face the long-buried secrets of her past that have kept her isolated for far too long.

This was sort of a sad Miss Benson‘s Beetle with an undertone of The Thirteenth Tale and just a hint of romance for good measure. It took a bit for me to get into but then it just hummed along. And I ❤️ the map Crosby drew that was included in my #SweetReads box that featured this book.

This was a weak pick for me. I enjoyed the two storylines, one more modern and the other in the past. The descriptions of the island are detailed and beautiful. At times the characters felt a bit flat to me though, but overall it was an enjoyable read.

While the writing is beautiful, I just could not get into this book. I was enchanted with the descriptions of the island landscape and the wildlife there, but I could not connect to the characters Marianne and Tartelin.

BookLineNSinker Thanks for the review. I was just about to add it to my stack but I think I'll pass. 2y
