Okay, you have to hear about this new novel. It's from the New York Times bestselling author of Migrations, and seriously, the setup is just incredible.
Picture this: a tiny, remote island called Shearwater, way down near Antarctica. It’s home to the world’s largest seed bank. A man named Dominic Salt and his three kids are its caretakers, the last people left as the world’s oceans rise around them. They are completely, utterly isolated.
During the worst storm the island has ever seen, a woman mysteriously washes ashore. Just… appears out of the churning sea.
Her name is Rowan, and as the family nurses her back to health, this fragile sense of hope begins to grow. Maybe she’s exactly what their broken family needs. And for Rowan, who’s been alone for so long, maybe this is a chance to finally belong somewhere again.
But here’s where it gets really good. Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she came to Shearwater. And then she discovers things. Sabotaged radios. A freshly dug grave. It turns out Dominic is keeping his dark secrets.
So now you have this pressure cooker of a situation. The storms are getting more and more violent, threatening the island and the priceless seeds. Everyone is hiding something, and they have to decide if they can possibly trust each other to survive. It’s this breathtaking story of ferocious love, dizzying twists, and the impossible choices people make to protect each other when it feels like the world is ending. It is enthralling.
