Sobre este áudio
On the Galápagos Islands, the lives of two women—a century apart—converge in the most startling ways in a historical novel of desperate love, secrets, and deception by the author of My Last Continent.
After ten years away to build a family, Mallory returns to Floreana Island in the Galápagos, and to Gavin, the mentor with whom she had a long-ago affair. Their project is to build nests to revive the vulnerable penguin population. But Mallory doesn’t dare tell Gavin why she’s really come back. Then she discovers old journals hidden in a lava cave—confessions of another woman who needed to disappear.
In 1929, Dore Strauch left the life she knew to create a new one with the man she loved. On remote Floreana they’re beholden to no one but each other. Until the arrival of strangers, settlers in their paradise. Suddenly, Dore realizes that it’s no longer the refuge she imagined. And that amid the island’s fragile beauty, people can do the most terrible things.
A gripping reimagining of a true story, Floreana intertwines the emotional journeys of two women bound by dark secrets, the want of escape, and the lengths to which they’ll go to find their place in the world.

“An engrossing narrative of self-reckoning.”—Publishers Weekly
“The truth behind this real-life event remains a mystery, but Raymond imagines an exciting version of events that is gripping and intriguing, while creating a vivid scene of the wild, remote island in the 1930s…highly recommended.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“Raymond’s novel is riveting and revelatory, a murder mystery embedded in other mysteries—of love and regret, loss and redemption, and how we can manage to hold on to the parts of this beautiful world that were never ours in the first place.”—Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of Booth and We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves
