The sea has flooded the earth. North lives on a circus boat, floating between the scattered islands that remain. She dances with her beloved bear, while the rest of the crew trade dazzling and death-defying feats for food from the islanders.

However, North has a secret that could capsize her life with the circus. Callanish lives alone in her house in the middle of the ocean, with only the birds and the fish for company. As penance for a terrible mistake, she works as a gracekeeper, tending the graves of those who die at sea. What drove her from home is also what pulls her towards North.

When a storm creates a chance meeting between the two girls, their worlds change. They are magnetically drawn to one another, and the promise of a new life. But the waters are treacherous, and the tide is against them.

Critic reviews

"Beautiful and bewitching: read it and be swept away on a magical wave of love and language." ( The Bookseller)
"In luscious, vivid prose, Logan brings to mind Angela Carter, or Atwood or Winterson at their best." ( The Independent)

A magical story and beautifully read by the author. The story is packed with imagination and the characters really came to life. I loved the descriptions of life in the circus. I couldn't tell enough people about this book.

This was a beautiful world Kirsty Logan has created. In an almost dystopia future most of the land is underwater. So you have two worlds one follows the people who live on the sea and the others who live on the land. This tale is split each chapter telling a different characters story, it's imaginative and the author reads her work extremely well. You follow the story of North and her bear who live on a travelling circus boat and Cavendish who lives on a graceyard (like an underwater graveyard) I couldn't recommended this book enough great for anyone who loves a bit of magic and fairytale with elegant twists.
