Riassunto

A stunning follow-up from the author of Salt--"thrilling and memorable" (Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times).

After experiencing a devastating tragedy, Guy sets out to sea in an old Dutch barge that has now become his home. Every night, he writes the imagined diary of the man he might have been-and the family he should have had.

As he embarks upon the stormy waters of the North Sea-writing about a trip through the small towns and nightclubs of the rural American South-Guy's stories begin to unfold in unexpected ways. And when he meets a mother and daughter, he realizes that it might just be possible to begin his life again.

Haunting and exquisitely crafted, Sea Change is a deeply affecting novel of love and family by an acclaimed young writer.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"This haunting, beautifully realized novel concerns perhaps the most devastating loss one can experience-the loss of a child...Page depicts Guy's devastating emotions superbly, engaging the themes of love and loss with remarkable tenderness, sympathy, and compassion. The descriptions of the sea, the weather, and the coastal estuaries that Guy visits are also powerful and poetic. A poignant and heartbreaking novel enthusiastically recommended for all readers."
-Library Journal

"A lyrical and elegiac novel about a real past and an imagined future...In this impressive novel, Page is at home on the estuaries around the North Sea, on a journey across America and in the lonely spaces in family relationships."
-Kirkus Reviews (Starred)

"The author's minutely observed characters and his evocation of almost every subject he treats are masterful."
-Booklist

"Gripping...buoyant."
-Time Out New York

"Page...is perfectly suited to render Guy's dreamy, interior monologues, where past, present and invented future intermingle, overlap and sometimes become indistinguishable from one another...In the journey Guy makes to recover the pieces of a lost life, it offers much more: a moving portrait of a father who, unable to save what he most loved, tried to save what could have been."
-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
