Five men survive a South Seas shipwreck and wash up on a seemingly deserted beach, only to discover that five beautiful, winged women inhabit the island. Dazzled and soon in love, the men will do anything to possess these flying women . . . but what they plan, and how the magical women respond, is tellingly—and predictably—human.
First published in 1914, and praised by Ursula K. Le Guin as “a real rediscovery—romantic, satiric, funny, fanciful, and a good read, ”
Angel Island is an adventure story and a genre-defining tale about women’s rights.
