A woman running from her past rents a lonely cottage haunted by drowned lovers and the presence of the sea. Here - amongst the local writers and conservationists, the Aborigines, fishermen, ferals and drifters - Jessica Sorensen almost loses her life and then remakes it. In this haunted and haunting story, Dorothy Hewett has written a novel about love and loss and the endless drift of the tides.
'A spectacular novel of romance from the dangerous edges of the land and the sea.'
Brenda Walker
'Highly original, compelling, a passionately lyrical dreamscape of a novel.'
