Why read it?
1 author picked Little Great Island as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Full disclosure: author Kate Woodworth and I shared our (very similar) manuscripts before they were accepted by publishers. Which is why I can now say, without any embarrassment, that I'm quite jealous of what she produced! Set on an island in Penobscot Bay, Kate has created a tiny independent community that also somehow serves as a metaphor for the entire world. Through a very specific and optimistic lens, she shows us realistic approaches to development, climate changeāand cults.
