Description
Under the Wave at Waimea by Paul Theroux is a novel about a big-wave surfer who confronts ageing and mortality as he searches for a new future. As his prime surfing days fade, Joe Sharkey finds himself struggling to come to terms with his past. A chance accident while driving leads him to uncover a shocking truth about the man he killed, and in doing so, he discovers a shared history that becomes a refuge from his troubles. This poignant story is set against the stunning backdrop of Hawaii's coast, where the author captures the glory and nostalgia of looking back at a rich and adventurous past. Paul Theroux's writing is disciplined and muscular, with a keen eye for detail that brings this complex tale to life.
