THE PORPOISE TPB
Εκδότης Chatto & Windus , ISBN 9781784742836
'I really am so very, very sorry about this,' he says, in an oddly formal voice…
They strike the side of a grain silo. They are travelling at seventy miles per
hour.
A newborn baby is the sole survivor of a terrifying plane crash.
She is raised in wealthy isolation by an overprotective father. She knows nothing of the
rumours about a beautiful young woman, hidden from the world.
When a suitor visits, he understands far more than he should. Forced to run for his life, he
escapes aboard The Porpoise, an assassin on his tail…
So begins a wild adventure of a novel, damp with salt spray, blood and tears. A novel that
leaps from the modern era to ancient times; a novel that soars, and sails, and burns long
and bright; a novel that almost drowns in grief yet swims ashore; in which pirates
rampage, a princess wins a wrestler's hand, and ghost women with lampreys' teeth drag a
man to hell - and in which the members of a shattered family, adrift in a violent world,
journey towards a place called home.
