Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Boy From The Sea by Garret Carr deals with love and rivalry.
What We Say: “In a small fishing town on Ireland’s west coast, a baby is found on the beach. Did he float in on the tide, or was he abandoned on the shore? Set over 20 years in a close-knit Donegal community, it is an exploration of the ties that make us and bind us, as a family and community move irresistibly into the future.” – Maria Padget
What They Say: “The Boy From The Sea is an utterly engrossing read. Atmospheric and incredibly moving, I was captivated by the trials and triumphs of the Bonnars. A bittersweet ballad of a novel I’ll be thinking about for a very long time.” – Jan Carson
Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
