## Description

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A gentle and uplifting tale of warding off apocalypse in a remote corner of Cornwall . . . charming' Financial Times 'A tremendously enjoyable book' Independent on Sunday 'Bloody brilliant' Liz Fenwick, author of The Cornish House It all began with the whale. When a young man washes up on the sands of St Piran in Cornwall, it is clear to the villagers that this is not a regular day. What has brought him here? And what is the crisis only he understands, that threatens not only their community but all of civilisation? With a global pandemic on the horizon, and a whale lurking in the bay, the villagers of St Piran must band together to survive. Intimate, funny and heart-warming, John Ironmonger tells a compelling story about the important things that hold us together, and how hope can be found, even at the end of the world. 'A warm-hearted book crammed with ideas . . . very, very good' Emerald Street 'A compelling and unusual modern fable' Natasha Solomons, author of Mr Rosenblum's List 'Beautiful, dark, uplifting' Kate Long, author of The Bad Mother's Handbook
