At first the island appears to be an untouched paradise like the Garden of Eden--until they meet Aileen, its only resident, who saves them from the island's hidden dangers. Fluent in English yet unfamiliar with even the simplest social norms, she claims she was raised by fairies. Her childish behavior in a grown body unsettles some and fascinates others, but nothing unsettles them more than the way she challenges their deepest beliefs about God, gender, and humanity itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs food dwindles and tensions rise, the castaways must rely on the \"savage\" they don't trust or respect. They insist on teaching Aileen how to function in the civilized world, confident they will return to it and that Aileen will come with them when they do. However, she stubbornly resists obeying the senseless rules of people who seem less capable than she is. The castaways are forced to question whether they are as advanced as they believe--and whether their idea of \"civilization\" is worth rebuilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan even the smallest group of people manage to survive without destroying each other and their environment?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 20, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51406863237343,"sku":"9798223357742","price":21.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/Z1W6HmAl539798223357742.webp?v=1789574186","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/mijs-testament-ailand-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
