The Island (English Edition)

Emma O'Shea loves her Dublin life, her university job, and her Co. Mayo family estate. She has even come to accept her sunset transformation into a Creole, exotic lady whose tastes and thoughts are annoyingly at odds with her Irish daytime persona. At nights, Emma dreams of a sugar cane plantation on a tropical island. Trapped between Dublin of 2012 and Martinique of 1695, Emma decides to travel to the island of her dreams. In Martinique, Emma understands the reason for the curse of her nightly change, and how her ancestor's legacy of evil and greed has thwarted her family generation after generation. Two islands, two cultures, a girl in between and, oh, also a very irate goddess in a magic reality tale bursting with spices, insight, and discovery.
