I love this cover, when earlier this year I got the world edition catalogue this picture was on the cover. I wasn’t even that bother by what the book was just that cover. Well I have been sent it and the book well that may be a gem it won the Dutch bookseller prize getting a quarter of the vote of the 117 books up for the prize. The book follows a mother and son relationship, they live on a small island between Scotland and Norway , Mikeal whose father has disappeared whilst out on the sea. This follows His and his mother’s life just after that has happened. I just think if Gerbrand Bakker said “Beautiful Just beautiful ” about this book it has to be worth reading!!!
