Praise for Little Island
“A story about the power of redemption and self-fulfillment. Ms. Britton understands everything there is to understand about the Maine coast, from the way fog ‘both muffles and amplifies sound’ to the fishing techniques of ospreys. Best of all, she understands how, through love, the human heart can overcome just about anything.”—Howard Frank Mosher
“Such luscious writing I wanted to slow down to savor it…The complicated, flawed, generous Little family reminded me of my own, and how, in the midst of the risks and raptures and currents of life, we save one another.”—Nancy Thayer, author of Island Girls
“A beautifully written and deeply thoughtful family story, enriched by Britton’s acutely rendered details of a beloved natural landscape and her wise understanding of complex human hearts. The tale is touched with heartbreak but leavened with humor, and is captivating from first page to last.”—Reeve Lindbergh, author of Under a Wing and Forward from Here: Leaving Middle Age—and Other Unexpected Adventures
