'Important and Unputdownable' —Fay Weldon
'Haunting' —London Standard
'There is a fish on the sand; I see it clearly. But it is not on its side, lying still. It is partly upright. It moves.'
It begins with the starfish – first on the beach in their thousands, then on the harbour wall, and finally one of them right there... on the kitchen window. Cathy and her wife Ephie have tried to adapt to the changing climate with good humour. They have given up on their vegetable patch and planted a paddy field instead. But a starfish on the window is unexpected.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, expat Margaret is trying to cope with the changing climate, but her city of Kuala Lumpur is now beside the ocean and something isn't right in those murky depths. No one knows what is coming, but across the world, many know it is not right.
An impressive debut that delicately explores the impact of slowly unfolding climate disaster.
