The review:

This book was a beautiful love letter to the sea and and coastal communities of the South West of the UK. Menmuir encountered different ways people engage with the water – from free divers to mermaid swimmers, fishing communities to beach artists – in his exploration of why humanity is drawn to the water.

Featuring aspects of his own story and his family’s relationship to the coast, he also interviewed many different people whose lives are closely intertwined with the sea.

Heartfelt, beautifully written and described, this is a must read for anyone who loves the water or finds peace in its proximity.
