When Mari McGavin flees a dangerous cult with her young son, she finds herself with nowhere to turn but the one place she promised herself she’d never return: the remote Maine island of her childhood. There, amid salt-worn docks and shifting tides, she reconnects with Harry Richardson, a summer friend now back to close up his family’s coastal home for good.
Kate Woodworth’s stunning debut weaves together the intimate and the epic, exploring how personal upheaval mirrors the environmental changes reshaping our world. On Little Great Island, the lobster catch is changing, butterfly migrations are shifting, and generations-old fishing families are watching their way of life transform. Against this backdrop of ecological uncertainty, Mari and Harry discover that some connections—like the island itself—refuse to let go.
Little Great Island is a novel about second chances and the places that hold us, even when we think we’ve broken free. Woodworth captures the particular magic of coastal Maine—the creak of weathered piers, the stubborn resilience of island communities, the way the ocean shapes everything it touches. This is literary fiction that feels urgent and necessary, a story about how we adapt when everything around us is changing.
Perfect for readers who love character-driven narratives with a strong sense of place, this novel will resonate with anyone who has ever returned home to find both themselves and their landscape transformed. Little Great Island reminds us that love, like nature, finds a way—even in the most unexpected circumstances.
Little Great Island is a stunning debut that captures the heart of coastal Maine and the resilience of those who call it home. Woodworth's prose is as beautiful as it is urgent.
