Publisher's Synopsis
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. LeGuin 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.
