Bridey’s family takes him in so he can rest and heal. Soon, people in Bridey’s idyllic village begin vanishing, and she finds an injured boy on the shore-an outsider who can’t remember who he is or where he’s from. Bridey suspects that whatever compelled her Granddad to leap has made its return to the Isle of Man. Now, in 1913, those haunting memories are dredged to the surface when a young woman is found drowned on the beach. When Bridey was young, she witnessed something lure her granddad off a cliff and into a watery grave with a smile on his face. Sixteen-year-old Bridey Corkill longs to leave her small island and see the world the farther from the sea, the better. I’m an absolute fan of books that have darker undertones and hold deeper meaning as you scrape through its layers, making you live in their worlds long after you’ve finished reading them. One of the main reasons I was drawn to the cover was its resemblance to one of my favourite YA series The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. In short… We will 100% be stocking many copies of the Aus edition! I had never heard of Sarah Glenn Marsh, but we received the US hardback edition of this at the book shop I work at to see if it was worth getting the Aus edition when it comes out. Putting all things aside about ‘judging a book by its cover,’ the second I saw the cover of this book, I knew I was going to love it.
