In "The Other Side of the Island" by Allegra Goodman, the story is set in a dystopian future where climate change has drastically altered the world. The protagonist, young Patience, navigates life on an isolated island governed by strict rules and a powerful regime that enforces conformity and control over individuality. As Patience grapples with her identity and the yearning for freedom, she uncovers the harsh realities of her society and the secrets it hides. Her journey leads her to question the values imposed on her and explore the complexities of family, loyalty, and the quest for self-discovery amidst oppressive circumstances.
