I just finished what is probably going to be one of my favorite books. "The Tenth Island" by Pulitzer Prize winner Diana Marcum is a slightly fictionalized story about the author's love affair with the Azores. I adore her writing style and her understanding of the longing in the heart for love and family. If you have a chance, give it a read.
I have a love affair with the Baleares Islands. Over 35 years now. Favorite Liberty Ports.
I am highly offended by my local library. They don't have it, or any books by her.
It's fairly new, which may be why. I got it for my e-reader from Amazon.
