Amihan lives on Culion Island, where some of the inhabitants, including her mother, have leprosy. Ami loves her home - with its blue seas and lush forests. But the arrival of malicious government official Mr Zamora changes her world forever: all the islanders untouched by leprosy, like Ami, are forced to leave. Banished across the sea, she's desperate to return before her mother's death. She finds a strange and fragile hope in a colony of butterflies. Can they lead her home before it's too late?

Reviews for The Island At End Of Everything

[Gayatri Varma · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Really loved the narration
Would recommend

[Maureen Armstrong · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Like romance novels, the story awards the reader with completeness and some level of joy. I enjoyed the story a lot and the analogy of butterflies lovely as symbols of free spirits seeking more in their day-to-day solitary levels of endurance as orphans separated from parents inflicted with illness. Maybe if more folks read this book, social levels of tolerance and respect may improve post-pandemic where little seems to remain. thanks for the great story.
