Sea of Whispers by Tim Bowler
When a mysterious woman is washed up on the shore of the island where Hetty lives, the close-knit community are suspicious. But there's a bond between Hetty and the woman - a bond which means that Hetty must go to extraordinary lengths to keep her safe. A storm is breaking and the voices of the sea are whispering to Hetty . . .
Grounded in reality but teetering so piquantly and precariously on the borders of the paranormal, Sea of Whispers is his latest enthralling mystery - a seductive tale of loss, despair, determination, bravery and the search for identity* Lancaster Guardian *
Tim Bowler is one of the UK’s most compelling and original writers for teenagers. Tim was born and brought up in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, the setting of his first novel, Midget. On leaving school he studied Swedish and Scandinavian Studies at East Anglia University, and lived for a while in Sweden. He then worked in a number of fields, including forestry and the timber trade, and spent seven years as a teacher. By the time he left teaching, Tim had become Head of Modern Languages at a school in Newton Abbot, Devon. He lives with his wife in a small village in Devon and his workroom is an old stone outhouse known to friends as `Tim’s Bolthole’.Tim has written eighteen books and won fifteen awards, including the prestigious Carnegie Medal for River Boy, and his provocative BLADE series is hailed as a groundbreaking work of fiction. He has been described by the Sunday Telegraph as `the master of psychological thriller’ and by the Independent as `one of the truly individual voices in British teenage fiction’.Find out more about Tim at www.timbowler.co.uk
