At Sea by Emma Fedor Paperback Book

Description: At Sea by Emma Fedor What happens when the man you love most in the world unexpectedly disappears and takes your small child with him? Emma Fedors "wonderful, haunting, and original" (Katherine Faulkner, author of Greenwich Park) debut explores the fierceness of first love and how far one woman will go to learn the truth about her family. When Cara and Brendan first meet, shes fresh out of college, recovering from the recent death of her mother, and spending time on Marthas Vineyard while trying to figure out her next steps. Shes swept away by Brendans humor and charm, and intoxicated by his thrilling, dangerous secret: he can breathe underwater. Able to stay beneath the waves for longer than should be possible, Brendan reveals that he is part of a secret experimental unit of the US Special Forces. And Cara, struck by the power of his conviction, by his unstoppable charisma, and by the evidence before her, believes him. Their summer romance turns serious. Then Cara gets pregnant. When their son, Micah, is born, shes sure their happy ending is underway. Still, shes thrown by Brendans dramatic moods, his unexplained disappearances, and the weight of his secrets. Cara is determined to stay strong for her young family--until he and baby Micah vanish, leaving her desolate and alone and questioning everything she once thought was true. Five years later, Cara is still struggling to move forward, married to another man and trying to rebuild her life, when a local fisherman announces hes spotted two people--one of them a small child--treading water in Nantucket Sound, far from any vessels and miles from shore. The news rekindles Caras never-abandoned hope that her little boy may still be alive. As she fights to untangle delusion from reality, and revisits a past shes worked hard to reconcile, Cara is determined to learn the truth about her lost love and finally find her son in this "book you wont be able to put down" (Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane).

Review "At Sea captures the intense and irresistible pull of first love . . . explores the complex layers and unanswerable questions of our romantic connections with refreshing honesty and grace." --Marjan Kamali, nationally bestselling author of The Stationery Shop"At Sea is a beautifully written, mesmerizing debut about love: the stories we believe when we think were in love, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to hold onto that love. This is a book you wont be able to put down." --Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane"[M]esmerizing fantastical debut... Fedors neatly plotted narrative keeps the pages turning, and Caras emotional pull toward her lost family makes the far-fetched conceit feel believable. This sparkling debut will hook readers." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A wonderful, haunting and original read, full of longing and watery strangeness. Fedor perfectly captures the fever dream of first love. I was immersed and didnt want to come up for air." --Katherine Faulkner, author of Greenwich Park"I loved this haunting, genre-defying novel. It made me imagine sitting at a bonfire, listening to my elders tell stories with themes as old as time. Selkies and merrows, mythology and folklore--what mysteries does the universe hold? Fedor took this question and made it her own. I couldnt stop turning these pages." --Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes Details ISBN1982171553 Author Emma Fedor Publisher Simon & Schuster Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781982171551 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-04-02 Imprint Simon & Schuster Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY 813.6 Audience General US Release Date 2024-04-02 Pages 336 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
