Clooney is currently legal counsel to Nadia Murad and other Yazidi women who have been sexually enslaved by ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and is working to secure accountability for the crimes committed by ISIS in national and international courts.The author utilises every ounce of history, atmosphere, myths and legends in this novel with the island taking centre stage.
