## Description

A new novel from the acclaimed author and broadcaster as part of Quick Reads 2022 and World Book Night. Helen is a retired teacher living on the Irish coast. She enjoys the peace and quiet - despite the burden of Margaret, her unpleasant sister. Margaret arrived three years ago for a short holiday, but somehow managed to stay and worm her way into Helen's life. One day, Helen sees a man struggling in the sea and decides to investigate. She doesn't quite know what it is, but something about it feels very strange... (P) 2022 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
