| Description |
Described as "a Neo-Classical dreamscape with a mythical narrative set on a fictional island off Australia in 1900. The central character, Isabelle, alone on the Isle of Swans, tries to piece together the events leading up yo her lover's strange disappearance [...]. With its concentration on female power, passion and sensuality, 'Isle of Swans' resembles the great Gothic Romances of the 19th century."
A woman tries to piece together the strange disappearance of her lover." |
