(2) 4-6 In 1911, Maine officials ejected the African-American, Native-American, and foreign-born residents from Malaga Island. This historical incident ignites a rich novel that pits the powerful townspeople against the powerless islanders. Schmidt anchors this tragedy firmly within its historical setting, metaphorically connecting the natural surroundings with religion and society.
