"Everything must be sacrificed to it." In Off Island, novelist Lara Tupper imagines Gauguin--chasing new light, new color--ran away to a new island, a rugged outpost off the coast of Maine.<br /> There, Gauguin leaves behind some paintings and letters, and maybe a child. A hundred years later, another Maine painter, Pete, finds himself torn between his muses--the sturdy, reliable Molly and the unhappy, peripatetic Karla--who promises to take him to other, newer islands.<br /> Off Island captures the lure of the unknown and the pull of the familiar, and questions what it means to be loyal to one's art, one's family, and one's home.</p>
