Sea Change by Jeremy Page
The latest selection from BlogHer’s Book Club is Sea Change by Jeremy Page. I got pulled into this book by its gorgeous, descriptive language. He paints with words instead of just creating the “same ol’” narrative. His writing style sometimes even reads like poetry. The land, the water, the boat were characters that participated in the plot in very real ways. And the world “real” means a lot here, because the main character, Guy’s story is not all the way “real”. He lives on an old boat, wandering around the North Sea, lost literally and figuratively. Five years prior an accident happened and his daughter was killed. His marriage didn’t make it long afterwards… in the real world. But every night Guy sits in his boat and writes a diary of what could have/should have been. He then meets a mother and daughter that bridge the connection to his imagined future and the real one. This is a quiet, engaging, and layered book that leaves you thinking about what happens in it long after…
