‘Superb doesn’t begin to describe it. People are going to be talking of little else’

£14.99

In June we publish Ocean, the third novel by the award-winning author and poet Polly Clark. Louis de Bernières – of Captain Corelli fame – calls it ‘strange, wonderful and compelling’.

Caught in a terrorist explosion on the London Underground, Helen is pregnant and lost until a stranger leads her to safety then vanishes. Obsessed with finding him, she begins to lose her grip on reality – and her family.

Her husband Frank proposes a daring plan: sell up and sail the Atlantic on the Innisfree, the very boat on which they first fell in love. But the ocean proves as wild and unpredictable as the heartbreak Helen is trying to outrun...

With a fiercely funny and maverick heroine at its helm, Ocean is a powerful exploration of the uncharted waters of the human heart. ‘Superb doesn’t begin to describe it,’ says Strong Words Magazine. ‘People are going to be talking of little else.’

Ocean is out on 12 June. To order your copy, click on the button below.
