Lives shaped by island distance

Set across the islands and cays of The Bahamas, *Between Islands* brings together stories of women and men negotiating relationships, exile, desire, and uncertainty. The collection’s archipelagic setting gives these concerns a shared geography: characters seek a footing while living amid separation and shifting attachments. Its portrait of paradise is deliberately unsettled, combining surreal routines with confrontations and strained attempts at love. The result is a linked portrait of insularity and the unstable ground between belonging and isolation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Caribbean and Bahamian settings.
  • Readers drawn to literary collections about relationships, exile, and belonging.
  • Readers seeking fiction with surreal elements and an ensemble of contrasting characters.

Book overview

What happens between islands? Relationships rust, bodies get left behind, and desire spoils by starlight. In this marvellous meditation on insularity, exile, and the grey areas of being alive, Knowles risks an entirely new picture of paradise as a fickle archipelago of stunning confrontations, surreal routines, and termite-ridden attempts to love. Set across the islands and cays of The Bahamas, with sandy imprints of Marquez, Murakami, Mootoo, and Camus, this uncannily Caribbean collection brings together - and separates - an eccentric cast of contrary women and troubled men, each in search of their own form of terra firma.
