Staff Pick Saturday! Emma recommends: Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy.
Set on a remote island near Antarctica, the story centres around Dominic and his three children who are caretakers on the island where the world’s largest seed bank resides. Once filled with researchers they are now the island’s final inhabitants tasked with preparing as much of the seed bank for evacuation now that the island is threatened by rising sea levels.
When a woman mysteriously washes up on shore, badly injured but alive, it becomes clear that both she and the remaining residents are both connect by and hiding behind lots of secrets.
This is a wonderfully written dark thriller that transports you directly to this storm ravaged island and straight into the lives of it’s residents.
