"On this day we made landfall at the Island which has no name and is not marked on any map."
"After what felt like many minutes of walking, I stopped. I thought of calling out to Captain Jane or the first-folk man or anyone at all but could not make my lips move."
"The funeral was strange because Alice’s death had been strange. No cause of death. No body. No certainty."
