A truly beautiful and haunting novel, and an incredible feat of
storytelling
*DONAL RYAN*
A tender, unusual and gorgeously wrought love story that weaves the
magic of folk lore, the wonder of the sea, and the depths of human
cruelty. It moves between the worlds it inhabits like the finest
piece of driftwood.

hope...DRIFT feels perfectly judged

A heart-wrenching, all at sea read -- you are going to want this on
your radar.
