The Sea-Wreck Stranger

NESS, Ty and their cousin Sophie live in a small island community: a community that has turned its back on the sea, and on its own past.

When the arrival of a stranger forces all three to question the world they know a world dominated by superstition, fear and loss they each have a choice to make. Rebelling against the harsh austerity of her life, Ness chooses to follow the sea currents running in her blood. It proves a choice that risks everything including her own life.

With its strong cast of characters, Anna Mackenzies perceptive, enigmatic novel will have you firmly in its grip.
