Off Island

Meer over het boek

Exploring the tension between adventure and stability, the narrative follows a fictionalized Paul Gauguin as he escapes to a remote Maine island in search of inspiration, leaving behind art, letters, and possibly a child. A century later, painter Pete grapples with his commitment to two women: the dependable Molly and the restless Karla, who offers a chance for new experiences. The story delves into themes of artistic loyalty, family ties, and the allure of the unfamiliar versus the comfort of home.
