The Sea------pan macmillan
First published in 2005, The Sea was critically acclaimed
as an extraordinary achievement. It went on to win that year’s Man
Booker Prize, one of the most hotly contested in the history of the
award.
When Max Morden returns to the seaside village where he once
spent a childhood holiday, he is both escaping from a recent loss and
confronting a distant trauma. Mr and Mrs Grace and their twin children
Myles and Chloe appeared that long-ago summer as if from another world.
He grew to know them intricately, even intimately, and what ensued would
haunt him for the rest of his years and shape everything that was to
follow.
