"Zebrun's writing is always clear, economical, and powerful. Hart Island effortlessly shows how place shapes destiny, how characters become who they are because of where they live and the secrets they keep-and confess."-Peter Grimes, editor of Pembroke Magazine "Beautiful, atmospheric, cunningly plotted. From the opening pages, I was transported into Sal Cusumano's world as he makes his way back and forth to Hart Island, between the living and the dead. I couldn't wait to discover what would happen next in this world full of violence and unexpected tenderness."-Margot Livesey, author of The Road from Belhaven "Hart Island has all the pleasures of a thriller and expertly designed detective story, while it's also the history of an arresting and forgotten place, a meditation on grief and the crisis of faith, a testament to loyalty and compassion, and a heartening celebration of the redemptive resilience of love."-Jim Shepard, author of The Book of Aron
