Pascali's Island by Barry Unsworth
A masterful tale by the author of Sacred Hunger and Stone Virgin. Set in 1908, on a small Greek island in the declining days of the Ottoman Empire, Pascali's Island presents a compelling portrait of a schemer whose shabby amorality scarcely ensures his survival in a world where treachery is the rule (Boston Sunday Globe).
Barry Unsworth was born in 1930 and grew up in a mining town in northeast England. Descended from a long line of coal miners, he was the first Unsworth to escape the mines. He attended Manchester University and published his first novel, The Partnership, in 1966. He is the author of seventeen books, including The Ruby in Her Navel, longlisted for the Booker Prize; Pascali's Island and Morality Play, both shortlisted for the Booker; and Sacred Hunger, co-winner of the Booker Prize. He died in 2012 at the age of eighty-one.
