Description
In a quiet coastal village in Northern Ireland, Grace lives by her own rhythms—wild swimming, fishing, quilting, and keeping a watchful eye on the tourists who arrive from the city. When Evan, a grieving man on an enforced break from Belfast, is drawn into her orbit—and lockdown traps him there—Grace’s reluctant intervention during a near-drowning becomes the beginning of an unexpected bond. With his reserved young son arriving too, the household that forms is tested by loss, silence, and the small, daily choices that either harden or heal. Blending warmth with unsentimental clarity, this novel explores grief, connection, and the ways community can reopen the world, even when the tide—and the rules—turn against you.
