Beyond the sea

 Chosen as a Book of the Year by Sebastian Barry, Martina Devlin and Peter CunninghamWinner of the Prix Gens de Mer, 2022Hector and Bolivar set sail from their South American fishing village on what they believe to be a routine expedition.

But then a devastating storm casts them adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

With no means of contacting the outside world and no sign of rescue, their only hope lies with one another.

Both men must confront the truth about themselves, and the regrets that they have spent a lifetime trying to forget, if they are to survive. Part gripping story of resilience, part fearless existential parable, Beyond the Sea is a meditation on what it means to be human, in a world that pushes us to the brink.
