"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 is a fast-paced comic novel about a partnership that extends beyond law, beyond marriage, and possibly beyond reality.

Reviews for The Island of Always

"""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"
