Haunting contemplation of loss and youth's echoes.

"The Sea" might resonate deeply if you've ever found yourself revisiting the past, seeking solace from a current sorrow. Banville's prose is lyrical, with a richness that captures the essence of memory and its impact on the present. As Max grapples with his intimate memories and confronts his long-buried traumas, you'll find the narrative both seductive and disturbing, evoking a poignant sense of nostalgia that's hard to shake off.

Description

When Max Morden returns to the coastal town where he spent a holiday in his youth he is both escaping from a recent loss and confronting a distant trauma. The Grace family appear that long ago summer as if from another world. Drawn to the Grace twins, Chloe and Myles, Max soon finds himself entangled in their lives, which are as seductive as they are unsettling. What ensues will haunt him for the rest of his years and shape everything that is to follow. John Banville is one of the most sublime writers working in the English language. Utterly compelling, profoundly moving and illuminating, "The Sea" is quite possibly the best thing he has ever written.
