Joan of the Island is a novel written by Ralph Henry Barbour and originally published in 1920. The story is set on the fictional island of Marua, located off the coast of Maine, and follows the life of Joan Farrell, a young woman who has grown up on the island. Joan is a spirited and independent character who longs to see more of the world beyond Marua. However, she is torn between her desire for adventure and her loyalty to her family and the island community. When a wealthy visitor arrives on Marua and takes an interest in Joan, she finds herself drawn into a world of luxury and sophistication. As Joan's world expands, she begins to question her identity and her place in the world. She must navigate the challenges of love and loyalty, and ultimately decide whether to stay on the island or venture out into the wider world. Joan of the Island is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of identity, independence, and the search for meaning. It offers a vivid portrayal of life on a small island community and the challenges faced by those who seek to break free from tradition and forge their own paths.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
