Absolutely stunning, the writing style is beautifully soothing, feels like the rythmn of waves coming forward & dropping back in your mind.
I already know that I will remember the experiences of being exploited by people who don't have any understanding or empathy for the community on the island.
So many books have recently been written about an isolated community living on a island being exploited by brief visitors. This & 'Clear' are definitely my favourites.
Thanks to publisher & Netgalley for the pre publication arc.
