Editor's Note:
Joe, Miles e Harry vivono sulla costa meridionale della Tasmania, dove la vita è modellata dal mare, dai suoi repentini mutamenti, dalle sfide esaltanti che esso impone. Solo il più piccolo dei tre fratelli, Harry, teme il mare e, mentre Joe e Miles affrontano l’oceano con le loro tavole da surf, lui preferisce raccogliere e custodire i tesori che la marea lascia sulla spiaggia. Ma a forgiare le loro vite è anche il padre, duro e imprevedibile quanto la natura che li circonda. A differenza di Joe, in procinto di abbandonare l’atmosfera opprimente che l’uomo ha imposto loro, Miles e Harry sono ancora troppo giovani per fuggire e sono costretti a vivere sotto la nube scura dello stato d’animo del genitore, un pescatore amareggiato che nasconde un devastante segreto e che riversa la sua rabbia sul più piccolo e vulnerabile dei figli. Grazie a una scrittura essenziale e suggestiva, Favel Parrett tratteggia con sguardo delicato una storia indimenticabile sull’amore fraterno e la vulnerabilità dei giovani, mentre la sua capacità evocativa trasforma le coste selvagge della Tasmania in un paesaggio tanto grandioso quanto violento.
