Book description
Saskia Granton is intrigued by an invitation to visit her reclusive
great-aunt Alessandra, who lives on the Scottish coast. It's a chance
to rediscover her lifelong love of the sea - and to forget, if only
for a few weeks, the boring career her parents have mapped out for her.
Swept immediately into the rhythm of life in a fishing community,
Saskia slowly begins to realize how little she really knows about her
roots. Somehow, she needs to understand the past if she is to find the
direction she needs for her future - a future that may or may not
include her new friend Ben.
Just as the sea gives up its bounty, so too her great-aunt must
reveal the secrets of the past - the terrible toll of lives lost, and
the very personal tragedy that left Alessandra herself so isolated.
Only then can Saskia break free . . .
