A review by bibliokyra
Cove by Cynan Jones

4.0

Cove is the hauntingly beautiful story of a man who travels out to sea in a kayak to scatter the ashes of his father. A lightning storm approaches and the kayaker is struck by lightning. Suddenly, he wakes up with the realization that he lost his memory, he is partially paralyzed and in unknown waters.

The readers are granted an intimate glimpse inside the mind of the unnamed protagonist, his battle of survival and clash with the power of nature. The writing in this story is phenomenal, poetic and entrancing. Filled with symbolism and purpose, this lyrical novella will not easily be forgotten.

Thanks so much to Catapult Books for providing me with a copy of Cove for the Little Free Library!
