The Endless Sea is a tale of love, lies, betrayal, spies, beauty and hope. Zara Alam paints with a vivid brush, to create a heightened stylised world. She uses symbolism that is not only beautiful, but which also explores the psychology and internal landscape of her characters. While poetically evocative, and resonating with collective ideas and feelings, her prose is about lushness, desire, and the fullness of life. Luc drives into a deserted London during a prolonged heatwave, to start a new life and leave the past behind. But his childhood friends have secrets here, secrets that span generations, and his new home and governmental occupation boast unsettling opulence and power. All the while his new neighbour, Mer, a woman who will not open herself to him, has him as though under a spell... During an intense, crisis ridden summer, Luc strives to unravel the secrets around him, and so, tries to help his friends whose lives are under threat, and yet, he wishes that he could find his way to the new and untroubled life he sought in the first place, by falling in love with Mer.
