Knoll Island is a novel written by George Agnew Chamberlain. The story is set on a remote island off the coast of Maine, where a small community of fishermen and their families live. The island is dominated by the Knoll family, who own most of the land and control the fishing industry. The novel follows the life of young David Knoll, the heir to the Knoll family fortune. David struggles to find his place in the world and to reconcile his privileged upbringing with his desire to be a part of the community. He falls in love with a local girl, Mary, who comes from a working-class family, and their relationship is threatened by the class differences between them. As David grows older, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with his family's wealth and power. He begins to question the morality of their business practices and their treatment of the island's inhabitants. When a tragedy strikes the community, David is forced to confront his own values and decide where his loyalties lie. Knoll Island is a compelling story of love, class, and morality. Chamberlain's vivid descriptions of the island and its inhabitants bring the setting to life, and his nuanced portrayal of David's character makes him a relatable and sympathetic protagonist. The novel is a timeless exploration of the human condition and the challenges we face in navigating our place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
