THE SURFACING Literary‘An extraordinary novel, combining a powerful narrative with a considered and poetic use of language in a way that is not often seen these days. Reading the book, I recalled the dramatic natural landscape of Jack London and the wild untamed seas of William Golding.' – John Boyne ‘Powerful and compelling.’ – Rose Tremain ‘The great topic of THE SURFACING is the reach of human possibility. The prose is calm, vivid, hypnotic and acutely piercing. A remarkable achievement.’ – Colum McCann Breath-taking novel in the tradition of Cormac McCarthy, Philipp Meyer, set in the 1850’s on The Impetus, an Admiralty ship engaged in the search for Franklin’s lost expedition. The men, especially the ship’s doctor, DeHaven, and the second in command, Lieutenant Morgan, have doubts about the judgement of their captain, and soon their own vessel becomes trapped in the remote Arctic. Far from all prospect of relief, their situation is further complicated by the fact that a pregnant woman has stowed away on board – and she is pregnant with Morgan’s child. A powerful novel of isolation, resilience and resistance, which explores man’s struggle with an unforgiving environment, and the battle between the sexes. Ambition, what drives human beings to take outrageous physical risks, the nature of courage, and of love – all are conveyed in an unforgettable setting, in brilliant, keenly pared prose. Ms available, 112,000 words. Sandstone publish in September 2014 (editor: Robert Davidson).
