Friend Islandaf Gertrude Barrows Bennett

Imagine a world where women are the dominant sex. Now picture an old sailor woman. Are you ready? This is the story of the time she became a castaway on a very, very unusual island...

An island which feels your every move. One that breathes in line with your breath. It can sense your every feeling. But the island does this for your own good.

To understand. To empathise. To unite.

She’s called Anita. And she’s about to change your world.
