“Brown’s writing is consistently sharp and well-observed.”
“There is some lovely writing here, romantic about the bleak North Sea and its phosphorescent or stormy moods.”
Sea Fret: n. a wet mist or haze coming inland from the sea.
Rising sea levels are threatening the ground beneath her house but Ruby is wildly distracted. She wants one final blow out before her best mate Lucy leaves for Uni. With the local community in favour of letting nature take its course, Ruby must choose: follow Lucy inland or stay and help her father hold back the tide.
“Loving where you live with every bone in your body has got to count for something.”
