Excerpt from The Golden Gift: A Book for the Young That night, and the following morning, came a further and a heavier fall of snow in consequence of which the poor children were completely imprisoned, and cut off from all possibility of communi cating with their next neighbours. The brook was too much for them to leap; and the little crazy wooden bridge could not be crossed, or even approached, with safety, from the drifting of the snow having made it impossible to ascertain the exact situation of some treacherous hole in its timbers, which, if trod upon, would have let a small child drop through into the rapid waters. Their parents did not return. For some hours of the morning the children clung to the hope that the extreme severity of the night had tempted them to sleep in Langdale; but this hope forsook them as the day wore away. The poor desolate ch'ildren, hourly becoming more convinced that they were orphans, huddled together in the evening round their hearth-fire of peats, and held their little family councils upon what was to be done towards any chance - if chance remained of yet giving aid to their parents; for a slender hope had sprung up that some hovel or sheep - fold might have furnished them a screen against the weather quarter of the storm, in which hovel they might even now be lying snowed up; and secondly, as regarded themselves, in what way they were to make known their situation, in case the snow should continue or should increase: for starvation stared them in the face, if they should be confined for many days to their house.

Winner of the PEN/Malamud Award: “The genius of his stories is to render his fictional world as timeless.”—Colm Tóibín The sixteen exquisitely crafted stories in Island prove Alistair MacLeod to be a master. Quietly, precisely, he has created a body of work that is among the greatest to appear in English in the last fifty years. A book-besotted patriarch releases his only son from the obligations of the sea. A father provokes his young son to violence when he reluctantly sells the family horse. A passionate girl who grows up on a nearly deserted island turns into an ever-wistful woman when her one true love is felled by a logging accident. A dying young man listens to his grandmother play the old Gaelic songs on her ancient violin as they both fend off the inevitable. The events that propel MacLeod's stories convince us of the importance of tradition, the beauty of the landscape, and the necessity of memory.
