This is the story of Meiji – the only girl who has remained untouched
and unmutilated in a country that has savaged its entire female
population. Having saved her from certain death in the new Dark Age that
has come upon the world, her guardian, Youngest, has transported her to
the only place where she can remain safe – an Island where wounded
girls are, sometimes literally, stitched back together and given a new
life. But the Island itself is a menacing place and Meiji may be in more
danger than ever before. To see what has become of his beloved girl,
Youngest must find a way to infiltrate its odd environs while keeping
the constantly assaulting voice in his head at bay. His struggles
against the surrealinhabitants of a world gone wrong and with his own
transformed identity only serve to steel his efforts to find the girl
and escape once more.. The Island of Lost Girls showcases, yet again,
Manjula Padmanabhan's genius at creating searing landscapes and
alternate, sometimes brutal, worlds while reaffirming the beauty and the
ugliness, the cruelty and the tremendous compassion that essentially
make us human.
