English Summary/英文概要： FORTUNE, Abbie’s debut novel, is set on the Isles of Scilly, also known as the Fortunate Islands. Hortense, a writer in her late thirties, goes to stay on the island of St Agnes for the summer. In search of isolation and solitude, she’s like an island herself. But therein lies the rub. On an island inhabited by 74 people it turns out that it’s harder to be alone than in the city, and whether she likes it or not humanity will push its way in. From the daily wittering of Jason de la Mere, the DJ from Fortune FM the Scilly radio station (“just call me Mr Irresistible”), to the unlikely friendship she strikes up with the selective deaf mute seventeen year old Josh, the locked and sealed door of her damaged former life is challenged. And then a huge storm hits the islands, a child disappears and Hortense must act.
