The Water That May Come

As rising seas threaten to engulf Britain, four lives are on the brink: Pinko, a privileged heir clinging to decadence; Jane, a working-class veterinary nurse racing to reunite her family; her pregnant teenage daughter Ashleigh, grappling with impending motherhood; and humble young artist Gavin. With sanctuary beckoning across the Channel, each faces impossible choices. Who will they save? What will they sacrifice? A lyrical, thought-provoking novel that blurs borders and challenges notions of identity and belonging. In a future where we all may become refugees, it asks: How far would you go to stay afloat?
