What is The Island Walkers about?
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize A Finalist for the 2003 Giller Prize Across a bend of Ontario's Attawan River lies the Island, where, for generations, the Walkers have lived among other mill workers. But in the summer of 1965, with the threat of mill closures looming, the Walkers grapple with their personal crises, just as the rest of the town fights to protect its way of life.
