The Stranger from the Sea: A Novel by Paul Binding
The dramatic and moving re-imagination of the characters from Ibsens The Lady from the Sea, set against the backdrop of a late-nineteenth-century English Channel town that harbors many secrets
"In its sensitive depjction of youthful sexuality, the anguish of failed relationships and the rights of women in a male-dominated world, Paul Binding's novel is a worthy tribute to the great Norwegian playwright" -- TLS
"This is an ambitious tribute to Ibsen's The Lady From The Sea. Like Ibsen, the author seeks to dive below the surface in order to expose the conflicts, frailties and hypocrisies that bedevil men and women. An immersive and high-quality read which takes its flavour from the 19th-century novel." -- Daily Mail
