  Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende

  Price: £8.99    Add to Basket

  A departure from her characteristic magic realism, Allende’s broad-canvassed novel tells the story of young slave-girl Tété and her tireless attempts to escape her cruel master. Set on the Caribbean island of Saint-Domingue and in the Vieux Carré of New Orleans, between 1770 and 1810, Island Beneath the Sea revels in vibrant period detail – the dress, the food, the smell of the plantations.
