Synopsis

Minneapolis environmental atttorneys Nick Ward and Lena Grant are no longer partners in law and marriage. But neither Lena's heart nor Nick's imagination can seem to accept that fact. As Nick pursues ever-wilder animal rescue schemes, Lena continues to rescue him. But who will rescue her?

The Island of Always continues the quixotic romance begun a decade ago in The Marriage of True Minds (Unbridled Books).

Praise for the Marriage of True Minds:

"Stephen Evans' first novel, The Marriage of True Minds, is a funny, poignant, oddly beautiful book about three divergent life forms--animals, people, and lawyers. You will love it if you read it with a true mind."--Kinky Friedman

"Evans demonstrates his playwright's mastery of dialogue and tension in his accomplished and whimsical first novel about love and the bizarre behavior it ignites." --Publishers Weekly

"Evans writes throughout with a sense of refreshing humor, and the snappy repartee between the two leads is also very funny and fun." --ForeWord

"Poignant and outrageous, moving and profound, Evans' delectable debut novel thrums with zesty dialogue and a memorably zany cast of irresistible characters." --Booklist

About this title

Review:

"As Nick adroitly ropes the world into his ever-wilder animal rights schemes, he works even harder to coax the wary but wistful Lena back into marriage. Evans (The Marriage of True Minds, 2008, etc.) is also a playwright and his fey romance novel feels that way, with lots of visual business and breezy repartee that reads like an Aaron Sorkin script...Evans is a talented writer who crafts smart, funny scenes and characters engaging enough to make readers happily suspend disbelief. A charming literary screwball comedy." --Kirkus Reviews

"A zany and unpredictable comedic literary novel."--Foreword Reviews

"A truly amiable cast of characters, entwined with heartfelt emotions. Literary audiences will easily forego any disbelief and indulge their imaginations in this highly entertaining and worthwhile read."--BlueInk Reviews

"Creative and cleverly written" --Booklife

"You will NEVER FORGET IT...A total Must Read"--Book Review Crew

"This book illuminates the struggle of loving someone beyond comprehension and the strain that mental illness places on that relationship. Fans of A Man Called Ove will enjoy going on this journey"--NerdyBookNurse.com

"The perfect feel-good book"--CenteredonBooks.com
