SUMMARY:The Pages of the Sea: Vancouver Launch
DESCRIPTION:Come out to Upstart & Crow for the Vancouver launch of Anne Hawk‘s The Pages of the Sea (Sep 17\, 2024)! Anne will be reading from her debut novel\, along with a discussion hosted by Jasmine Sealy. Books will be available for sale and signing. \nThe launch will take place on Thursday\, October 3 at 7PM. \nGrab The Pages of the Sea here! \nABOUT THE PAGES OF THE SEA \nOn a Caribbean island in the mid-1960s\, a young girl copes with the heavy cost of migration. \nWhen her mother emigrates to England to find work\, Wheeler and her older sisters are left to live with their aunts and cousins. She spends most days with her cousin Donelle\, knocking about their island community. They know they must address their elders properly and change their shoes after church. And during the long\, quiet weeks of Lent\, when the absent sound of the radio seems to follow them down the road\, they look forward to kite season. But Donelle is just a child\, too\, and though her sisters look after her with varying levels of patience\, Wheeler couldn’t feel more alone. Everyone tells her that soon her mother will send for her\, but how much longer will it be? And as she does her best to navigate the tensions between her aunts\, why does it feel like there’s no one looking out for her at all? \nA story of sisterhood\, secrets\, and the sacrifices of love\, The Pages of the Sea is a tenderly lyrical portrait of innocence and an intensely moving evocation of what it’s like to be a child left behind. \nABOUT ANNE HAWK \nAnne Hawk grew up in the Caribbean\, the UK and Canada. She has worked as a journalist\, a paralegal and was for many years a secondary school teacher. She is married and lives in London. The Pages of the Sea is her first novel.
