About this title

Synopsis:

The true story of a girl on the raw edge of adolescence who discovers the secrets of an impossibly romantic family history. Johanna Angermeyer's father Hans and his four brothers fled Nazi Germany and sailed to the Galapagos islands, where they lived like Robin Crusoes, surrounded by exotic wildlife. But the war caught up with the Enchanted Isles, and Johanna found herself growing up 2000 miles away, dreaming of the island her father had loved. Years later Johanna returned to the Galapagos in order to untangle the knotted story of her parents' incredible lives, their forced separation and her father's tragic death.
