The forgotten Island

The Forgotten Island by Sasha Troyan

A little book that I picked from my daughter's collection of books

I picked it up because it was slim( would fit in my bag ) .Was travelling the next day and did not want anything thick and cumbersome

Its a story that I would call a fugue - rather than a tragedy .

You know what happens to the older child from the back cover and then the whole narration is a repetitive one of the child's wilful behaviour and you think each time , each page is going to be when she disappears forever .

A sibling whose voice is never heard because she doesn't think she has one .
