Description
Whale Fall by Elizabeth O'Connor is a powerful and moving debut novel set against the backdrop of a world on the edge of great tumult. In 1938, a young woman living on a remote island off the coast of Wales must navigate the challenges of a harsh landscape and the looming threat of war. When two anthropologists from the mainland arrive, she sees an opportunity to leave her isolated life behind and discover a future she has been searching for. But as she becomes entangled in their relationship, her imagined future begins to seem desperately out of reach. A beautiful and devastating story of longing and betrayal, Whale Fall is a quiet yet powerful exploration of loss and change.
