Fowles has written a deeply personal work to analyze his attraction to the Scillies and all islands. But then the writer points out that the book is much more about the Scillies of a his own mind; and beyond them, about the mysteries, symbolic and real, of all similarly situated small islands; about their silences, their otherness, their magi and their mazes, their eternal waiting for a foot to land. Fowles on Goodwin: British photography has not had a more poetic interpreter of ancient landscape.
