A review by aquamarine
Storm and Grace by Kathryn Heyman

5.0

An important book that in beautiful precise prose builds up a love affair with the sea while deconstructing traditional romance - to a heartbreaking conclusion that is all too real and omnipresent, alas. There are intriguing hints of Inuit mythology underpinning the tale - and much as I love Greek myth it was great to see another cosmology being referenced. Still, it was the Bluebeard imagery that really had me on the edge of my seat.
