A stunning, gothic debut from a brilliant new literary voice, perfect for fans of Daisy Johnson, Max Porter and Fiona Mozley

'As eerie, bleak and magical as the Norfolk coast itself. An intriguing narrative of twists and turns, stories and myths, truth and fable . . . a gripping piece of work that pulls you in, and won't let you go'
Nick Bradley

'Conjures the atmosphere of the Norfolk coast with unnerving beauty. This is an unusual and enthralling novel: the strange events of this story have haunted me'
Naomi Booth

You don't pass through the North Shore on the way to anywhere else: it is the end of the road. The village is like many along that wild coast; inhabited by those who have always lived there, and always would.

The residents know nature's tempestuous ways. They batten down the hatches when storms rip through, and clear the debris in the aftermath.

But after one particularly ferocious storm, something washes up on the beach that has never appeared before. Something that opens the question of what nature, and the North Shore, are truly capable of.

'A mysterious and compelling tale. Landscape and memory shift as though colluding in unsettling the past'
Lulu Allison

'A beautiful, moving book'
