From the Costa-shortlisted author of THE OTHER HALF OF AUGUSTA HOPE and ALL MY MOTHERS

Can two lost people find each other?

The story of two people who have no idea how to fall in love…

On two Northumbrian islands joined by a bridge at low tide, Addie and Sol draw comfort from the migrating birds and vast ocean around them. Every day they dream of escape.

Introverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts, they are both drawn to Nature far more than to people – until they catch sight of each other in the wild.

Can they break free from their inhibitions and risk a better future together?
