Beschreibung

A Waterstones Book of the Month As read on BBC Radio 4 A Sunday Times Best Book of the Year An Observer Best Debut of the Year A baby is found abandoned on a windswept Irish beach, and nothing in this small coastal town will ever be the same again. The Boy from the Sea is Garrett Carr's moving tale of a boy that brings together a community, but changes a family forever . . . 'Compassionate, lyrical and full of devilment' - Louise Kennedy, author of Trespasses 'A joy . . . Vivid, loving and genuinely funny' The Sunday Times 'I didn't want it to ever end' Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things In 1973 on the west coast of Ireland, a baby is found abandoned on the beach. Who is he? Where is he from? Ambrose, a local fisherman, is far more interested in who he will become and - with a curious community looking on - takes the baby home and adopts him. But for Declan, Ambrose's young son, this arrival is surely bad news. Rivalries can be decades in the making, and families are easy to break . . . Readers love The Boy from the Sea: 'Left me feeling warm and satisfied when I finished it and I've thought about it daily since then' * 'Books are meant to change you, to shape you, and to heal you, and The Boy from the Sea does all those things' * 'You feel like you're right there in the village' * 'Stunning. I found myself waking up at 5am because I was desperate to read more' * 'Felt like I was stepping off life's treadmill and immersing myself in another world' *
