Reviews

"The Fourth Island is both beguiling and unsettling, both mythic and earthy. A truly memorable story, beautifully crafted." --Juliet Marillier, author of the Warrior Bards series

"The contemplative style, low stakes, and small cast is reminiscent of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea Cycle and is worthy of the association." --Publishers Weekly

"The Fourth Island is an absolute gem of a story, full of wonder, melancholy and no little wisdom." --Peadar Ó Guilín

"Part charm, part history, part ravishing spell in itself, The Fourth Island is the best kind of ghost story, reminding us of all the good and the bad in the world. I loved this book." --Helen Marshall
