Book Description
 

BLACK ISLE, THE by Sandi Tan - BOOK - ADVANCE READING COPY

Uprooted from Shanghai with her father and twin brother, young Cassandra
finds the Black Isle's bustling, immigrant-filled seaport, swampy
jungle, and grand rubber plantations a sharp contrast to the city of her
childhood. And she soon makes another discovery: the Black Isle is
swarming with ghosts.

Haunted and lonely, Cassandra at
first tries to ignore her ability to see the restless apparitions that
drift down the street and crouch in cold corners at school. Yet despite
her struggles with these spirits, Cassandra comes to love her troubled
new home. And soon, she attracts the notice of a dangerously charismatic
man.


Even as she becomes a fearless
young woman, the Isle's dark forces won't let her go. War is looming,
and Cassandra wonders if her unique gift might be her beloved island's
only chance for salvation . . .


Taking readers from the 1920s,
through the Japanese occupation during WWII, to the Isle's radical
transformation into a gleaming cosmopolitan city, THE BLACK ISLE is a
sweeping epic--a deeply imagined, fiercely original tale from a vibrant
new voice in fiction.
