Books set on islands
Books set on islands, where the sea cuts characters off and the place becomes part of the story. Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None traps ten guests on one, Madeline Miller's Circe unfolds in exile on Aiaia, and Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park lets dinosaurs loose off the coast of Costa Rica. Anne of Green Gables and Papillon show how differently an island can shape a life.
