Island of the Lost

by Joan Druett

Algonquin Books · 2019 · 304 pages

When two ships wreck on opposite ends of a desolate island in 1864, their crews face the same brutal conditions. One group descends into despair and unthinkable acts, while the other rallies together, building shelter and a forge to survive. This gripping true account, drawn from survivors' journals, explores the stark contrast in human behavior when pushed to the absolute limit, making it a compelling read for anyone fascinated by resilience and the will to endure.
