With the Sound of the Sea by Charlotte Fairbairn
A daughter's quest for her father; a father's yearning for forgiveness; and a timeless story of the beauty and cruelty of the ocean. Athene Brown's earliest memory -- of the storm that ravaged Samuel's Bay, leaving the fish piled gasping on the beach -- is also her last of her father. For it is on this day that Isaiah turns his back on the home of his ancestors, believing all he held dear is lost. Leaving the bay for the city, she cannot put behind her the haunting scenes of her past.
'The writing is poetical.. evocative as it is of the winds and the seas and the character of a fishing coast' -- Oxford Times 20031212 'A simple and beautifully imaginative story of a mythical land' -- Glasgow Evening Times 20031212
Charlotte Fairbairn was born and raised in Scotland, read langauges at Oxford and now lives with her husband - conductor, Ross Pople - and two small children in rural South Cumbria.
