The Colony
Audrey MageeIn Audrey Magee's lyrical and brooding fable, two outsiders visit a small island off the west coast of Ireland, with unforeseen and haunting consequences.
Mr Lloyd has decided to travel to the island by boat without engine - the authentic experience. Mr Masson will also soon be arriving for the summer. Both Englishman and Frenchman will strive to encapsulate the truth of this place - one in his paintings, the other with his faithful rendition of its speech, the language he hopes to preserve. But the people who live on this rock - three miles wide and half a mile long - have their own views on what is being recorded, what is being taken and what is given in return. At the end of the summer, as the visitors head home, there will be a reckoning.
"Magee tells her tale in other interesting ways...Her characters’ dialogue is terse and direct...Some inner thoughts are relayed as streams of consciousness, others as snatches of verse: 'isolated beauty / continent’s outpost / empire’s edge'... From this patchwork prose, Magee weaves a vivid, thought-provoking novel about language, art, colonialism and the Troubles." - Malcolm Forbes, Seattle Times
