The Pages of the Sea by Anne Hawk
Here is what is being said about it:
“The Pages of the Sea is a beautifully written and intimately imagined debut novel coming out of the Caribbean. Intensely moving and lyrical, here is a story of our times, another piece of the mosaic of our fractured and remade Caribbean lives.” Monique Roffey, The Mermaid of Black Conch
“An evocative and at times heart-breaking work of Caribbean fiction. In The Pages of the Sea, Anne Hawk gives fresh form to the Windrush era and new voice to its neglected narratives.” Anthony Joseph, winner of the T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry.
“This is a stunning debut. It’s great to see a new author championing in fiction the unheard voice of a child left behind in the Caribbean migration story of the 1960s. Beautifully told, The Pages of the Sea will resonate for many thousands.” Yvonne Bailey-Smith, The Day I Fell Off My Island
“What can I say except I think this is a great novel. The story breaks your heart and, at the very same time, the writing heals it. Anne Hawk’s vision is miraculously, tenderly lucid. I can’t think of a better depiction of the confusions and insights of girlhood.” Toby Litt, A Writer’s Life
