(1991)
On an isolated island off the coast, two sisters live alone, away from the rest of the world. One sister, Viola's face is terribly deformed, and she writes beautiful novels in the darkness of their home. The elder one, Marie, is protective of her sister and won't let a soul see her, out of fear. But one day, a fan of Viola's books swims up on shore... What will happen when the two meet? Written by Caroline Cronshaw On an isolated island live two sisters. One is a successful but reclusive writer called Viola Ge, who lives with her domineering sister. Deeply self-conscious of a surface flaw that her sister is quick to harp on, she hides herself inside away from the outside world with the curtains drawn. That is, until a determined male fan literally swims to the island to meet her, and in doing so, inadvertently forces her to confront her shame and truly live again. Written by Kenneth Chisholm Viola writes novels in a darkened room. Marie, her sister and only companion, takes care of her every need. Together, they are an island unto themselves, quiet and complete in their isolation. And then the abrupt arrival of a stranger throws their tenuous order into chaos.
