520    "My name is Jude. And because of Law, Hey and the Obscure,
       they thought I was a boy."Jude is twenty-one when she 
       flies in a private plane to Sark, a tiny carless Channel 
       Island and the last place in Europe to abolish feudalism. 
       She's been hired for the summer to tutor a rich local boy 
       named Pip. But when Jude arrives, the family is 
       unsettling. Pip is awkward, overly literal, and adamant he
       doesn't need a tutor, and upstairs, his enigmatic mother 
       Esme; casts a shadow over the house.Enter Sofi: the 
       family's holiday cook, a magnetic, mercurial Polish girl 
       with appalling kitchen hygiene, who sings to herself and 
       sleeps naked. When the father of the family goes away on 
       business, Pip's science lessons are replaced by midday 
       rose; and scallop-smuggling, and summer begins. Soon 
       something powerful starts to touch the three together.But 
       those strange, golden weeks on Sark can't last forever. 
       Later, in Paris, Normandy and London, they find themselves
       looking for the moment that changed everything.Compelling,
       sensual, and lyrical, The Last Kings of Sark is a tale of 
       complicated love, only children and missed opportunities, 
       from an extraordinary new writer"--|cProvided by
