Is there love within these pages? Yes, but the love story doesn’t take on a predictable trajectory, and it’s also not the only point of the story. This novel is about so much more than two people from different walks of life being stuck in a remote cabin together. What initially struck me as slightly absurd – marrying yourself – turned out to be incredibly life affirming and highly relatable. I still don’t know why her novels aren’t being adapted into movies – they are utterly perfect for the screen. One Night on the Island is her third novel, I’ve read them all and enjoyed each of them immensely. Josie Silver has such a talent for delivering meaningful and heart-warming contemporary fiction.
