Jane Guy, the awkward, insecure daughter of a world-renowned physician and a beautiful ballerina, has come to a tiny Indonesian island to attend Queen's Medical School -- an institution that will accept, for an exorbitant fee, any American child of privilege despite his or her previous academic history. Surrounded by jungle and water, Jane is immediately plunged into unrelenting heat and the psychological abuse of the teaching staff. The truest connection she makes on the island is with Keefer, a sensitive fellow student who keeps a shark he has named Jonah captive in an ocean pen. But as days extend into weeks, Jane Guy feels herself changing, retreating into a body and spirit she can no longer recognize. And as an aura of desperation deepens among her peers, Jane's determination to succeed grows. Because failure is the only way off the island, and for Jane, it is not an option. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Confirming a literary talent as dazzling as the arctic landscape she so compellingly evoked in her debut novel, The Cage, Audrey Schulman turns her darkly sensual eye on another exotic locale to tell a thrilling story of self-discovery and desperate survival. No library descriptions found. |
