Publisher's Synopsis

Chita: A Memory Of Last Island is a novel written by Lafcadio Hearn. The story is set on Last Island, a barrier island off the coast of Louisiana, which was devastated by a hurricane in 1856. The novel follows the story of a young girl named Chita, who is the daughter of a Spanish fisherman and a Native American mother. Chita's parents die in the hurricane, and she is left alone to survive on the island. She is rescued by a group of survivors who are trying to make their way to safety. Chita's journey with these survivors is fraught with danger, as they must navigate treacherous waters and avoid dangerous creatures. Along the way, Chita learns about love, loss, and the power of the human spirit. The novel is a haunting and lyrical exploration of the human condition, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
