Description
Joanne Harris's Coastliners is a powerful novel about a hardy island community fighting against the encroaching sea. Set on a tiny Breton island, life has remained almost unchanged for over a hundred years, but Mado's return home after ten years away sets off a chain of events that will change everything.
The community is struggling to come to terms with its past and find hope for the future, as it faces threats from both nature and a local entrepreneur. As Mado takes up the fight to transform her village, she must confront the secrets that have haunted her family for years.
This beautifully written novel combines elements of fairy-tale morality and gritty realism, creating a compelling story that will keep you gripped from start to finish.
