From the award-winning writer of Weathering, Diving Belles and The Sing of The Shore, a luminous novel, set in Cornwall, about secrets and memory, things lost and found - and the tidal pull of home.
It was Tiny who found it. There was something at the edge of the beach, something long and tangled in the seaweed. Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. She should go closer and check. Everything was moving: wind gusting, waves tipping over and sucking back over the stones. But over where the thing was it seemed very still and very quiet.
When a dead body washes up on a Cornish beach, two children are the only ones to see it before it is taken again by the sea. But its memory will haunt the children - and those who live in the village - over the coming years, stirring up gossip and guilt, love and betrayal and connecting them all in ways they never imagined.
