ARC REVIEW
The Boy From the Sea is a Gently written story of two boys growing up in a fishing town, Declan, the birth son of Christine and Ambrose, and Brendan, who was adopted after being found in the sea as a baby.
The fractured relationship between the two brothers continues as the boys grow and change as they get older and the reader’s sympathies follow them.
There is great, tactical narration throughout the story, moving it along the timeline whilst it highlights the realities of a life in a town centred around the harshness of commercial fishing.
Thank you to Picador and Netgalley for the ARC.
