All of the islanders believe that their leaders provide the sessions to help them make wise decisions. How would the leaders react if Lakali told them what was happening to her? Still, the more she remembers, the more frightening her life becomes. Do the leaders truly have the islanders’ best interests at heart, or is there something more sinister going on? Worse yet, will Lakali be able to convince her best friend and the man she loves that she isn’t going crazy before it’s too late?

Islanders


Book Description

Prolific writer Helen R. Hull (1888-1971) offers a portrait of rural American women's lives over three generations, from the Gold Rush in California in 1849 to World War I. The men of the novel's family go off to war and to make their fortunes -- leaving the women, 'islanders', to run the farm and care for their families. The New York Times called Islanders (1927) "a novel of power, freshness, ideas... As the history of a brave, clear-thinking, self-reliant woman, it is fascinating."




TALES OF ISLANDERS (Complete Edition)


Book Description

"Tales of the Islanders": The four volumes of tales collected here make delightful reading, while offering a unique insight into Brontë family life and Charlotte's development as a writer: these are the stories she and her siblings imagined for their magic island kingdom. The stories are charmingly written in a very fairytale-esque style. They are written by a child and therefore are sometimes hard to follow when the stories make big turns, which force the reader to read them slowly and devour each sentence. Charlotte Brontë (1816 – 1855), English writer noted for her novel Jane Eyre (1847) and sister of Anne Brontë and Emily Brontë. The three sisters are almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels. In their works they described love more truthfully that was common in Victorian age England. In the past 40 years Charlotte Brontë's reputation has risen rapidly, and feminist criticism has done much to show that she was speaking up for oppressed women of every age.




Falkland Islanders at War


Book Description

Falkland Islanders were the first British people to come under enemy occupation since the Channel Islanders during the Second World War. This book tells how islanders' warnings were ignored in London, how their slim defenses gave way to a massive invasion, and how they survived occupation.While some established a cautiously pragmatic modus vivendi with the occupiers, some Islanders opted for active resistance, using banned radios to transmit intelligence and confuse the Argentines. Others joined advancing British troops, transporting ammunition and leading men to the battlefields. They often came under Argentine fire.Islanders' leaders and 'trouble makers' faced internal exile, and whole settlements were imprisoned, becoming virtual hostages. Those who remained in besieged Stanley found themselves in the same dangerous situation as their enemy, enduring British naval shelling, artillery attacks and bombing raids.
