Set in Cornwall, coastal erosion and flooding take on a near mythical power as the short stories in this collection weave in and out of the recent past and near future, as lives and relationships ebb and flow with the tide. From one maritime tragedy to another, the community, and three generations of women from the same family, struggle with their over-close affinity for the sea.
I thoroughly enjoyed dipping my toes into this delightful book. Despite the themes of grief and tragedy it explores these are also magical, powerful, thought-provoking tales that also touch upon important modern concerns such as climate change. And there is just a touch of whimsy that I recognise from the ‘tall tales’ that have always permeated the Cornish coast.
