Although fiction, this is based on a true story that happened in Ireland back in 2009 (about 90 miles further north on the coastline where I live) when a man's body was found on a beach and whose identity and cause of death were never able to be established. 
 The way this story is structured is really unique. Every chapter follows a different person's perspective (and there are x chapters). It however becomes less a story about the mysterious body on the beach and more the story of each individual character and their place within this small coastal town. I also wanted to bring attention to the writing and of how high a level it felt despite this being a debut. The author'ss seemingly elffortless use of lyrical, eloquent descriptors perfectly paint a melancholic tale on Ireland's wild Atlantic coast.
