Description
The Sea is a profound exploration of memory, childhood and loss, as seen through the eyes of art historian Max Morden. Returning to the seaside village where he spent a childhood holiday, Max is both escaping from a recent loss and confronting a distant trauma. His encounter with the Grace family, who appeared in his life that long-ago summer, had a profound impact on him, shaping everything that followed.
Part of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books, this novel showcases the best of modern literature. With extraordinary clarity, the author brings to life the world of Max Morden, a world that will continue to be read and admired for years to come.
