On this remote outpost in the British Isles, life and death walk constantly hand-in-hand. An island year, novelist Elizabeth O’Connor tells us in her debut, Whale Fall, is marked by the life cycle of birds and the rotation of sheep who have grazed the plants to nothingness. And more than anything, there are the never-ending waves, which take a sacrificed sheep thrown into the sea and push it back to shore for the birds to eat. Manod, born in 1920, is 18 during the book’s particular island year.

Whale FallBy Elizabeth O’ConnorPantheon Books: May 7, 2024224 pages, $27.00 WHALE FALL is one of those books that sneaks up on you, holds you spellbound, and leaves a big impression.

Set in 1938, it concerns the twelve families who live on an inhospitable island off the coast of Wales.

Reading Lists In an island novel, isolated characters have nowhere to run, and the rules of mainland society no longer apply Islands live comfortably in the literary imagination. Cut off from the mainland and often small or negligible in population, they place characters in inescapable situations, amplify drama, and often suspend the normal rules of mainland society.

Not long after the whale’s arrival, human interlopers arrive in the form of Edward and Joan, English researchers making an ethnographic study of the island, who quickly hire Manod as an assistant and translator. Manod is enraptured by their alienness and by the possibilities they represent. She tells Joan that, before meeting her, she had not known women could attend university or choose not to marry. “I would love to study. Like you,” she says. “I’m saying that you can.
