"The Seas took me back to how I felt as a kid, when you're newly
falling in love with literature, newly shocked by its capacity to
cast a spell..." Maggie Nelson "[It] blew me away because of the
beauty of the language . . . I found myself highlighting about 85%
of the book for the language. It is so beautifully written" Jodi
Picoult Moored in a coastal fishing town so far north that the
highways only run south, the unnamed narrator of The Seas is a
misfit. She's often the subject of cruel local gossip. Her father,
a sailor, walked into the ocean eleven years earlier and never
returned, leaving his wife and daughter to keep a forlorn vigil.
Surrounded by water and beckoned by the sea, she clings to what her
father once told her: that she is a mermaid. True to myth, she
finds herself in hard love with a land-bound man, an Iraq War
veteran thirteen years her senior. The mesmerizing, fevered
coming-of-age tale that follows will land her in jail. Her
otherworldly escape will become the stuff of legend. With the
inventive brilliance and psychological insight that have earned her
international acclaim, Samantha Hunt pulls readers into an undertow
of impossible love and intoxication, blurring the lines between
reality and fairy tale, hope and delusion, sanity and madness.
