Barber said: “It has been such a privilege to work with Hannah on her debut, Move Like Water, and to see how powerfully early readers have responded to its passionate paean to the sea and all its creatures. She, The Sea feels like an exciting book to follow that: a story that is once more underpinned by Hannah’s expertise as a sailor and her intimate knowledge of the oceans, but also allows her to dive deeper into the human (and specifically female) history of the sea.” a b Like Water (photobook).

As a young girl, Hannah Stowe was raised at the tide's edge on the Pembrokeshire coast of Wales, falling asleep to the sweep of the lighthouse beam. Now in her midtwenties, working as a marine biologist and sailor, Stowe draws on her professional experiences sailing tens of thousands of miles in the North Sea, North Atlantic, Mediterranean, Celtic Sea, and the Caribbean to explore the human relationship with wild waters. Why is it, she asks, that she and so many others have been drawn to life at sea—and what might the water around us be able to teach us?

Owens’s debut novel tells the tale of a girl abandoned by her family and by society, left to be raised by and in the wild of the marsh in North Carolina. The marsh is a transitional place, where land becomes water, a place where organisms must adapt to survive. The protagonist Kya is no different as she navigates the twisting, shifting waterways and makes a life for herself. Nature becomes her family and her teacher, as she finds companionship with birds, learns how to feed herself, how to survive, how to stave off the loneliness that accompanies her and develops incredibly astute biological and ecological observations.A book to sweep you away from the shore, into a wild world of water, whale, storm, and starlight— to experience what it’s like to sail for weeks at a time with life set to a new rhythm.
