About this listen
Nominated for the 2021 Booker Prize.
Samuel has lived alone for a long time; one morning he finds the sea has brought someone to offer companionship and to threaten his solitude....
An intense and powerful novel about guilt and fear, friendship and rejection; about the meaning of home.
©2020 Karen Jennings (P)2021 W. F. Howes LtdCritic reviews
"A gripping, terrifying and unforgettable story." (Elleke Boehmer)
"...a moving, transfixing novel of loss, political upheaval, history, identity, all rendered in majestic and extraordinary prose." (Booker Prize judges)
"Karen Jennings...is showing all the signs that she is destined for the kind of greatness achieved by Margaret Atwood, Nadine Gordimer or Jeanette Winterson." (Karina Magdalena, Cape Times)
