Description
Closer by Sea by Perry Chafe is a poignant coming-of-age novel about a young boy's struggle to cope with loss and find his place in a changing world. Set against the backdrop of a small island community, the story follows Pierce Jacobs as he navigates the complexities of adolescence and searches for answers when a close friend goes missing. As the local fishing industry teeters on the brink of collapse, Pierce must confront the harsh realities of life on the island, where the natural world and human relationships are inextricably linked. With the help of his friends, he sets out to find Anna Tessier, whose disappearance has shaken the community to its core. Part coming-of-age story, part literary mystery, and part suspense thriller, Closer by Sea is a powerful exploration of family, friendship, and community set against the pivotal backdrop of modern Newfoundland history.
