Item Description
Since the 1600's the Isles of Shoals have hosted a variety of communities; rugged fishing villages, grand nineteenth century hotels, marine research facilities, and the summer conferences of today. But in winter, the Shoals are deserted. That's when Alexandra de Steiguer arrives. Alone, she keeps watch over the buildings and grounds and natural elements - the winter caretaker. With every historic structure boarded up, the island's rich history is veiled. And though buttressed against harsh weather and relentless winds, the islands remain timeless and inspiring to the single human witness that remains. From this place - a smattering of small islands situated in the north Atlantic, miles from the mainland - Alexandra draws on sixteen winters of virtual solitude to produce this volume. In it, she asks, "Can life itself be a work of art - a rewarding product of creativity, reflection and inspiration?"
