As well as the two Elizabeth Gilbert titles mentioned in the review, ''The Last American Man'' is due out in August 2009. On the island tack, I commend to you my favourite East Coast love story, ''The Mermaid Chair'' by Sue Monk Kydd, even though it hasn't been reviewed by The Bookbag. This book ticks all my boxes for characters, story, evocation of landscape and the atmosphere of island life. On different lines, but set on a Channel Island in wartime, [[The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer]] was well received on this site. The Bookbag reviewers also enjoyed [[Alligator by Lisa Moore]], set in Newfoundland, and Joanne Harris' [[Coastliners by Joanne Harris|Coastliners]], on two French islands.
