The Boy Who Belonged to the Sea by Denis Thriault

The Boy Who Belonged to the Sea by Denis Thriault

A moving story of friendship and the power of imagination, from the author ofThe Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman

‘A dreamy, underwater experience, this brief novel by Thériault is a hallucinogenic dive into another realm… Here is a fragile poetry, charming and childlike in its simplicity, yet profound on the unfathomable depths of loss, of love’

* Irish Times *

'Thériault…blurs reality and fantasy in a heartbreaking story of boyhood friendship.'

* Cosmopolitan *

'Thériault is a writer with a lightness of touch, allowing him to explore darker themes in a way that never feels heavy, but always engages. The result is a debut that draws you into its own intriguing, evocative world.'

* Reading Room *

‘What a beauty this book is... "Quirky" and "charming" have been used to describe [Thériault's] books, but they are so much more than that.’

* Marjorie’s World of Books *

‘Thériault is a writer with a lightness of touch, allowing him to explore darker themes in a way that never feels heavy, but always engages.’
