READINGS MONTHLY
Giulia is ten. She lives on the greenest island in a volcanic archipelago. She has never left. Her best friend, apart from her older sister Giovanna, is a donkey. Giulia and Giovanna's days on the island are shaped by ritual, community, superstition and isolation.
Until the men arrive. And a foreign yacht anchors at the port. And the vines begin to fail. And everything changes.
From the author of Dolores, Strangers at the Port is an exquisite, enchanted novel about myth and memory, suspicion and dislocation, emigrants and explorers.©2023 Lauren Aimee Curtis (P)2023 Orion Publishing Group Limited

Curtis - who was included on Granta's recent Best of Young British Novelists list - writes dazzlingly confident prose, too rich to be called spare yet without any superfluous weight. She writes the island as if she were Celine Sciamma shooting Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Francesca Peacock)
An incredible novel about how the quiet, ritualistic lives of a pair sisters are shaken by the arrival of strangers on their island (Anna Bonet)
Strangers at the Port is both a fascinating delve into the small, personal stories sacrificed to the grander sweep of history and a provocative creation of a fable for our times (Emily Rhodes)
