Synopsis

Seaborne. The word echoes in Dermot's mind. Washed up from who knows where, with no people to belong to, no clan to speak for him: a man alone in the world. If this man lives, what will he turn out to be? What might he bring among the Islanders? John had not dreamed that anywhere in the North Atlantic could be this remote. There must be someone, if not here, then not far away, who even if they didn't speak English would at least recognise it. John Finlay, engineer, is running away from his failed business, his failed relationship and his debts. He runs away to sea. Dermot, pulling a body, barely alive, from the water, has never seen anyone so strangely dressed. His Celtic island knows nothing of debt or of engineering. And John, waking among a people who cannot understand his language, struggles to accept that he has been carried across time and into another world. From this starting point, tensions build between tures and outlooks, and focus on Shinane, the blacksmith's daughter, who is looking for something beyond. John and Dermot find themselves stretched to their limits. It is a matter of survival, or transformation. Choice is key - and not only for John, Dermot and Shinane: the whole community finds itself caught up in conflict over The Seaborne.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Andrew (A.G.) Rivett was born in London. His first degree was in medicine, and he practised in hospital medicine in London and in a leprosy hospital in northern Nigeria. He edited the medical school Gazette, and wrote a collection of short stories. In 1987 he was ordained into the stipendiary ministry of the Church of England. It wasn't a good fit, and after 12 years he returned to medicine as a public health doctor in Southampton. In 2006 he retired to the remote peninsula of Scoraig and in the spiritual community of Findhorn in Scotland. Here he met his second wife, Gillian Paschkes-Bell and they often work as a writing team. They now live in West Wales.
