Krátky popis
'I didn't want it to end' - Maggie O'Farrell'An exquisite,
evocative coming-of-age story that takes place in a world on the
cusp of great change' - Observer'Utterly exquisite' - Imogen Hermes
GowarIt is 1938 and for Manod, a young woman living on a remote
island off the coast of Wales, the world looks ready to end just as
she is trying to imagine a future for herself. The ominous
appearance of a beached whale on the island's shore, and rumours of
submarines circling beneath the waves, have villagers steeling
themselves for what’s to come. Empty houses remind them of the men
taken by the Great War, and of the difficulty of building a life in
the island's harsh, salt-stung landscape.When two anthropologists
from the mainland arrive, Manod sees in them a rare moment of
opportunity to leave the island and discover the life she has been
searching for. But, as she guides them across the island’s cliffs,
she becomes entangled in their relationship, and her imagined
future begins to seem desperately out of reach.Elizabeth O’Connor’s
beautiful, devastating debut Whale Fall tells a story of longing
and betrayal set against the backdrop of a world on the edge of
great tumult.
