Description

Ro's life has stalled. Her thirties have brought estrangement from her mother and a painful breakup with her boyfriend, who's left to explore Mars instead. In the midst of this uncertainty, Ro finds solace in her mundane job at an aquarium and her late-night drinking sessions. But when her best friend is about to get married, leaving Ro feeling increasingly isolated, she turns to Dolores - a giant Pacific octopus who serves as her last connection to her father, a marine biologist who vanished on an expedition years ago. As Dolores is sold to a wealthy investor with plans for a private aquarium, Ro's world begins to unravel. Haunted by memories of her childhood, Ro must confront the trauma that has been holding her back and find a way to recommit to those around her. With Dolores at its center, this poignant story explores the complexities of growing up, letting go, and finding one's place in an ever-changing world. With its unique blend of magical realism and coming-of-age themes, Sea Change is a powerful exploration of identity, loss, and the human condition.
