About this book
Dominic Salt and his three children live as caretakers on Shearwater, a remote, weather-lashed island housing the world's largest seed bank. With rising sea levels threatening the island, the researchers have departed, leaving only the Salt family. During a severe storm, a stranger named Rowan washes ashore. The family helps her recover, but Rowan appears to be withholding information about her presence. When she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave, she realises that she is not the only one on the island with secrets. The novel explores the difficult choices made to protect loved ones.
