Scurvy and foolishness kill many of the inhabitants, but several survive. This is their true story. Started off a bit on the tedious side but eventually transformed into a lovely story.

Sickness, insanity and the force of nature play major roles in the novel. Restrepo also exposes the reader to feelings such as true friendship, love, and loyalty. Restrepo narrates the story almost 70 years after it actually happened, basically by contacting descendants of those involved.
From the perspective of form, the novel is very well written and easy to read, even as Restrepo jumps from past to present and also from city to city. The plot is very interesting and the reader will always find himself wondering what will happen next and reading just a bit further before putting the book down.

Who knew that a whole book could be written about 9 years on an island in the middle of nowhere? The whole time I read it I thought it's remarkable how crazy real-life is. That these events happened and the survivors of this island were veritable female versions of Robinson Crusoes is phenomenal. I loved the characters of Tirsa, Alicia, and Altagracia.

I thought at first that Captain Arnaud would be the main character, but the author clearly wanted the women to shine. I can't believe the women lost a whole year in their calculations on how long they were there, but that they were only off by one day of the month.
