Book Description
On this side of the reef the orange buoys mark the lobster pots, a string of plastic baubles over their death-traps, trailing long chains down into the dark. Patrick stares after them. This might be a good time to ask…
A small island stands in the channel, barely changed by the tides. On its surface, the islanders go about their daily lives aware that it s not possible to make a move undetected here, where everyone knows everybody else; where the neighbours will always notice, and judge. They know this, but they may have forgotten that it s always possible to leave
Editorial Reviews
Review
Her writing is atmospheric and descriptive…” – cypruswell.org
“I loved Neubert’s descriptions of the island, zooming over it with a bird’s eye view and her image of it as an amoeba-like entity, drawing its sustenance in through the port and washing away its waste with the tide” —ourbookreviewsonline.blogspot
