"requite (verb): to return love and affection or, on the other side
of the coin, to retaliate for injuries inflicted. MALTA 1941.
Eleven-year-old Joe Zarb's life is about to change. The war has
created a rubble-strewn, dogfight-watching, soldier-saluting
adventure, until a telegram arrives with news of his papa, Victor,
that will shatter everything. Twenty years later, with Malta
seeking independence from the British Empire, a nurse and a former
RAF pilot travel to the island. Beth is looking for Joe, the son of
her wartime husband, Victor. Her companion, Stuart, is seeking
revenge for the horrific burns he suffered in the war. When they
find Joe and a man purporting to be his papa, a chain of events is
set in motion that sheds new light on what happened two decades
before... Praise for 'Man At Sea': "Intimate and expansive, this
tantalising thriller pulses with mysteries, secrets, and surprises.
Man at Sea is both timely and historical, at once rich in
implication and action. Like the sea itself the story is swift,
deep, exhilarating, and ultimately unpredictable." - Kevin MacNeil,
Award-winning novelist and Lecturer in Creative Writing, University
of Stirling"
