From the Back Cover:
A finely honed testament to its author's intelligence, imagination and skill (The New York Times)
'At last I could row no further. My hands were blistered, my back was burned, my body ached. With a sigh, making barely a splash, I slipped overboard . . .'
In the early eighteenth century, Susan Barton is washed ashore on a remote desert island. There she encounters a man named Cruso and his silent servant, Friday. Far from civilization, she has no choice but to join these castaways - until the day a passing ship offers the chance of rescue.
On arriving in London, Susan decides to tell her story and seeks help from the well-known author Daniel Foe. But, as a writer, Foe seeks not to tell the truth as Susan remembers it but instead to produce a grand narrative that will outlive its age - one Susan cannot recognize . . .
'A small miracle of a book' Washington Post
