Today is launch day for a wonderful first novel. The Pages of the Sea by Anne Hawk. It’s published by Weatherglass Books, who have put out some other amazing books — Cold New Climate by Isobel Wohl is perhaps my other favourite. I think this will come to be seen as a really significant debut. It’s a great and loveable novel of childhood, separation, cruelty and curiosity. A book to keep alongside To Kill a Mockingbird and Wide Sargasso Sea and The Bluest Eye.
