The detail, depth & description within this story creates the most vivid imagery. You really feel like you’re there, on the waters edge, smelling the salt of the sea and feeling the sand smoosh beneath your feet. It’s really a meditative experience. 

The dissection of very real, relatable & difficult family, social & culture dynamics is also vivid. There is a thrill of mystery etched within the storyline that keeps you on your toes and wondering what’s really going on. The breadcrumbs are eluding yet enthralling. 

Pour a cup of tea, get comfy & wade into this. It takes you under, but you’ll resurface feeling fresh.
