WINNER OF THE 2017 DRUE HEINZ LITERATURE PRIZESelected by David Gates William Wall is the first international winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize.
"Suddenly I see weeks that are like years stretch out before me. Islands are, more than anything else, places of deprivation."
Jeannie, one of the sisters featured in The Islands, comes to this realization at the age of six or seven, as her father leaves their island home yet again to work on his latest book. In this collection of interconnected stories, the beautiful and ravaging forces of sea and land collide with the forces of human nature, through isolation and family, love and loss, madness and revelation. The stories follow the lives of two sisters and the people who come and go in their lives, much like the tides. Dominated by the tragic loss of a third sister at a young age, their family spirals out of control. We witness three stages of the sisters' lives, each taking place on an island--in southwest Ireland, southern England, and the Bay of Naples. Beautifully and sparsely written, the stories deeply evoke landscape and character, and are suffused with a keen eye for detail and metaphor.

Navy is pretty, but doesn’t feel like a great quality set.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: King
I purchased the Navy. The color is great and the pleated pattern is a nice touch. My daughter has the white and it’s very soft. The navy is not, though. So that was disappointing. It’s also not breathable. It’s not thick, but just not breathable. I actually get pretty warm at night with this one when I don’t normally with any other blankets. It also seems on the small side. We have a king and always buy king, this just feels a little smaller. Doesn’t feel high quality. I would not buy again.

Excellent piece
Color: Light Grey, Size: Queen, Color: Light Grey, Size: Queen
Initially I was worried about the cheap feeling material but when I finally decided to take it out of the bag I was impressed by the “fullness”
Of the sheet as it was folded up. Not necessarily sharp and crisp lines but when I was unfolding the sections I was really impressed by the sizing or fit with its deep pockets that cover over my mattress and 5” foundation, the design, and the slightly cool material, despite the wrinkles. This particular light gray of this fabric was one I was looking for for a very long time in mattress protectors, bedsheets, and even iPad cases. I had not found any that were to my liking but this one here by Utopia Bedding is exactly what I was looking for. It definitely sets the tone and mood of my bed and perhaps the overall feel of my bedroom too so it will make it all that much more relaxed and comfortable. It doesn’t seem to fit tightly but it’s long enough to stay in one place.
