'Warmhearted yet dark. Amy Lilwall creates a world that is instantly relatable, populated by eccentric but engaging characters pushed to their limits by an extreme existential threat. It held me rapt from start to finish.' - Alison Layland, Author of 'Riverflow' and 'Someone Else's Conflict'
As rising seas threaten to engulf Britain, four lives are on the brink:
Pinko, a privileged heir clinging to decadence;
Jane, a working-class veterinary nurse racing to reunite her family;
her pregnant teenage daughter Ashleigh, grappling with impending motherhood;
and humble young artist Gavin.
With sanctuary beckoning across the Channel, each faces impossible choices. Who will they save? What will they sacrifice?
A lyrical, thought-provoking novel which blurs borders and challenges notions of identity and belonging. In a future where we all may become refugees, it asks: how far would you go to stay afloat?
