Description
Safe from the Sea is a powerful and moving novel about the complex bonds between fathers and sons. Thirty-five years after a tragic shipwreck, a son returns home to reconnect with his estranged father, who has been carrying the scars of that day with him ever since.
The story takes place against the stunning backdrop of northern Minnesota's lakeshore landscape, where the past and present collide in unexpected ways. As the two men come to terms with their shared history, they must also confront their own struggles and the secrets that have held them apart for so long.
This is a heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and redemption, set against the rich cultural heritage of Norwegian immigrant communities on the Great Lakes. Peter Geye's masterful storytelling weaves together themes of family, identity, and the enduring power of human connection.
