OFF ISLAND is an audiobook!
December 22, 2020
"OFF ISLAND is a beautiful book, a meditation on love and connection and what it means to feel and breathe and be human. It was a joy to narrate!"
You can listen to a five-minute excerpt of Linda Jones' brilliant interpretation via the link HERE, which includes some salty language and references to Paul Gauguin's very questionable behavior. I hope you'll download the book for all on your festivus list this year. (Gratitude to Findaway, Audible and Encircle Publications.)

"[Tupper's novel is a] study of love relationships: How fulfilling and how devastating they can be, but how central they are to our human experience.
OFF ISLAND. Read it. Love it."
