Ellen Meeropol: Sometimes an Island, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From burning shtetls to rising seas, one family's journey spans generations and the fight for survival. On a remote Maine island, a new community rises---tightly knit, off-grid, and resilient in a changing world.

After Cossacks burn their home, ten-year-old Deborah and her father flee their shtetl to a remote island on Maine's Penobscot Bay, seeking refuge and a new beginning. More than a century later, their descendants are once again uprooted, this time driven by rising seas and a collapsing world. From coastal towns to higher ground, a new community emerges: off-grid, tightly knit, and forged from an unlikely alliance of island refugees, family from Brooklyn, friends from a fractured Massachusetts co-op, and others seeking sanctuary as the political landscape grows increasingly volatile.
