Review
" An Island Between Two Shores will stay with me a long time. In a profound way, I identified with this young woman, who just wanted to survive the cruel, indifferent wilderness that preys on both the strong and the weak."
Danielle Hill, "The Hope Chest Reviews ," October 19, 2012
"This was a book that I could not put down. I managed to read it all in a few hours and love it! Liana is a splendid character and her voyage to get off the island and back to civilization kept me on the edge of my seat. She is the woman I hope I could manage to be if I was in the same situation."

"The story is so well told, by turns poetic and brutal, that it has huge emotional impact, gripping the reader from start to finish. I was very impressed at the depth of emotion that the author could lead me to feel for the central character in such a short, 148 page novel, and I know that I will not forget Liana and her struggle to survive whatever the cost for a long time.
I think the ending is one that you'll either love or hate. I found it surprising but clever and undoubtedly the only one that could really finish the story to maintain the gritty realism it portrays from the very beginning.
star rating : 5/5"

"At just 148 pages long, ***** An Island Between Two Shores* by Graham Wilson can be read in one sitting, in fact I think it really should be read like this as the story is compelling, often brutal but beautifully told."
