WHALE FALL - ELIZABETH OCONNOR KARTONIERT (TB)

It is 1938 and for Manod  a young woman living on a remote island off the coast of Wales  the
world looks ready to end just as she is trying to imagine a future for herself. The ominous
appearance of a beached whale on the island's shore  and rumours of submarines circling beneath
the waves  have villagers steeling themselves for what's to come. Empty houses remind them of
the men taken by the Great War  and of the difficulty of building a life in the island's harsh
salt-stung landscape.  When two anthropologists from the mainland arrive  Manod sees in them a
rare moment of opportunity to leave the island and discover the life she has been searching
for. But  as she guides them across the island's cliffs  she becomes entangled in their
relationship  and her imagined future begins to seem desperately out of reach.   Elizabeth
O'Connor's beautiful  devastating debut Whale Fall tells a story of longing and betrayal set
against the backdrop of a world on the edge of great tumult.
