The construction so far has been plagued by difficulties, giving rise to superstitious whisperings amongst the men, but Tom is a man of sense and science. He will not be cowed by stories of hauntings and bad omens.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yet Tom is unprepared for the conditions on the island: the isolation and delirium of the endless summer nights. He soon learns that the real dangers on the island have nothing to do with the wild waves. There are some problems that science cannot answer, and some threats so ancient and strange, that nothing can keep them at bay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR ELAINE THOMSON\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'I was so impressed by \u003ci\u003eHawthorn' \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eMICHELLE PAVER\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eDark Matter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eDelightfully brooding and gloriously gothic' \u003cb\u003eCJ COOKE\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Witching \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eA hugely entertaining and evocative treat' \u003cb\u003eBRIDGET COLLINS\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Binding \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eA new classic' \u003cb\u003eSARA SHERIDAN\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fair Botanists\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eThe best Scottish ghost story of the 21st Century so far' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHERALD \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A wonderfully atmospheric ghost story' \u003cb\u003e5* NETGALLEY REVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A truly haunting tale, beautifully written' \u003cb\u003e5* NETGALLEY REVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56448148046168,"sku":"9781408724729","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781408724729.jpg?v=1780433121","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/saltwater-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
