Description
A fish lies partly upright on the sand, its gills visible and wide open. This is just one sign of a world in flux. In their garden in Cornwall, Cathy and Ephie have given up on growing vegetables and planted a rice paddy instead. Meanwhile, Margaret struggles to adapt to life in Kuala Lumpur, now a coastal city. As the climate changes, sea creatures are increasingly leaving the oceans and invading the land. The consequences of this shift are already being felt. In New Zealand, extreme storms are hitting the island, while expats like Margaret find it hard to adjust to their new surroundings. The starfish on Cathy's kitchen window are just the start - a small but telling sign that something is amiss. As more and more sea creatures make their way onto land, the idea of a 'new normal' becomes increasingly difficult to accept. This thought-provoking novel explores what happens when our world is forever changed by the actions of others.
