A life on the water, the loss of a familiar world and an elusive bond with the ocean shape Kelly Anderson's debut.

The sea is more than a backdrop to growing up: it is part of what the central character knows and risks losing. Readers drawn to stories of displacement and attachment may find the most compelling question in how to carry a former life into an unfamiliar one.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For readers interested in reported lives, ideas and the forces shaping contemporary experience.
