The Tenth Island

From a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, this memoir explores themes of personal loss, longing, and connection as the author retraces her steps to the remote Azores islands of the Atlantic Ocean. After encountering a unique immigrant community in California, she returns to the islands, where she immerses herself in local culture and reflects on deep feelings of saudade. Her journey leads her back to those beloved islands, where she discovers that some longings endure and may even lead to unexpected love.
