Praise for Floreana ...
“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. The book explores wildlife conservation, survival, the struggle for existence, animal welfare and the human condition … highly recommended.” — Library Journal (starred review)
“An island sojourn proves less restorative than hoped for in this clever outing from Raymond, which centers on two women who visit the Galápagos Islands nearly a century apart … The result is an engrossing narrative of self-reckoning.” — Publishers Weekly
“Lose yourself in rich, evocative new historical fiction … Floreana invents a dramatic explanation for the still-unsolved deaths and disappearances that occurred on this small island in the southern Galápagos in the 1930s … The mounting tension that engulfs the island is mirrored by that of the present-day research camp, where past liaisons and current secrets keep everyone on edge … what remains most convincing is Raymond’s vivid depiction of the island’s flora and fauna.” — The New York Times
