'Fabulous, relaxing, page-turning, dream-inspiring' MIRANDA HART
'Exquisitely beautiful and so perceptive' JOANNA CANNON
From the Costa-shortlisted author of THE OTHER HALF OF AUGUSTA HOPE and ALL MY MOTHERS
Can two lost people find each other?
The story of two people who have no idea how to fall in love...
On two Northumbrian islands joined by a bridge at low tide, Addie and Sol draw comfort from the migrating birds and vast ocean around them. Every day they dream of escape.
Introverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts, they are both drawn to Nature far more than to people - until they catch sight of each other in the wild.
Can they break free from their inhibitions and risk a better future together?
'A mini-holiday in itself, and an adorable ode to the romance of the awkward, the shy and the uncertain' LOUISA YOUNG
'This utterly enchanting novel took my breath away... genius' DINAH JEFFERIES
