Choosing this book
Who this edition suits
Best for: A reader who likes literary fiction across long periods.
The novel starts on early Madeira and follows a love story across generations, using a much wider timescale than a single-trip island mystery.
Consider: Madeira is an opening setting in a broader story, so choose another title if you want most scenes on the island.
