Children think we make them, but we don't ... They come into the
world and make us. They make us by breaking us first. 'Moving ...
refreshingly original' Guardian 'Utterly gripping' Karin Slaughter
'A searing, deeply moving story' Daily Mail 'Gripping' Grazia The
world is mostly water when Pearl is born. The floods have left
America a cluster of small islands with roving trade ships and
raiders. Pearl knows little of her father Jacob and elder sister
Row, who left her mother Myra when she was pregnant with her.
Between them they make do, with Myra fishing and trading to make
ends meet, travelling from island to island on Bird, the boat
Myra's grandfather made before he died. Whilst their life is a
tranquil one, Myra still aches for the daughter she once lost. When
a chance encounter reveals that Row might still be alive, Myra
packs up six-year-old Pearl and together they begin a dangerous
voyage to The Valley, where rumours of violence and breeding ships
run rampant. Along the way they encounter death and strangers,
finally finding solace on board Sedna - full to the brim with
supplies and an able crew - where Myra feels like she might be
closer to finding Row than she has ever been. But to get to Row she
will have to deceive everyone around her, betraying the trust of
those she's come to love, and ask herself if she's willing to
sacrifice everything and everyone for what might be nothing at all.
