A remarkable reading experience. Clarke weaves an enchanting world filled with improbable things

The story slowly reveals itself taking the reader from a confused haze to a sad yet beautiful resolution.

The aesthetic is enveloping and lends itself to daydreams of adventure and exploring. The imagination conjures the smell of saltwater, the sound of waves, and the noise of seabirds.

The prose is simple yet evocative, and it is an immersive read. Once you pass a specific point there is no stopping until you finish.
