'She is sailing. She is alone. Ahead of her is the world's curve and beyond that, everything else. The known, the imagined, the imagined known.' Who else has entered Tim's life the way Maud did? This girl who fell past him, lay seemingly dead on the ground, then stood and walked. That was where it all began. He wants her - wants to rescue her, to reach her. Yet there is nothing to suggest Maud has any need of him, that she is not already complete. A woman with a talent for survival, who works long hours and loves to sail - preferably on her own. A woman who, when a crisis comes, will turn to the sea for refuge, embarking on a voyage that will test her to the utmost, that will change everything . . . From the Costa Award-winning author of PURE comes a viscerally honest, hypnotic portrait of modern love and motherhood, the lure of the sea and the ultimate un-knowability of others. This pitch-perfect novel confirms Andrew Miller's position as one of the finest writers of his generation.
