«L'isola dei segreti» is the mystery novel by Scarlett Thomas, published in 2011 by Newton Compton in paperback (321 pages, in Italian).
A newspaper advertisement summons brilliant young people for a great project. After a brief interview, six twenty-somethings appear on a remote island without knowing how they got there or who brought them together. They find symmetrical rooms, food and water, but no one explains what they should do or what the purpose of the place is.
Originally published as «Bright Young Things» in 2001, this Italian edition is a translation by Antonio Bibbò and belongs to the «Grandi tascabili contemporanei» collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and mystery looking for an enigmatic premise with a group of young protagonists.
