Emily St. John Mandel Quotes

There Are Children On The Island Who Go Barefoot All Summer And Wear Feathers In Their Hair, The Volkswagen Vans In Which Their Parents Arrived In The '70s Turning To Rust In The Forest. Every Year There Are Approximately Two Hundred Days Of Rain. There's A Village Of Sorts By The Ferry Terminal: A General Store With One Gas Pump, A Health-food Store, A Real-estate Office, An Elementary School With Sixty Students, A Community Hall With Two Massive Carved Mermaids Holding Hands To Form An Archway Over The Front Door And A Tiny Library Attached. The Rest Of The Island Is Mostly Rock And Forest, Narrow Roads With Dirt Driveways Disappearing Into The Trees.
