Description
Bernie remembers one icy day, years ago, when her mum and older sister left in the car for a journey they never came home from. Now she believes that being isolated is safer than loss.
But she is pulled into turmoil by the vulnerability of a prematurely born step-brother, and the potential for romance with mosaicist, Robin.
Against her own instincts, she pushes her father away to his new wife, and pushes Robin away into the arms of a mutual friend. But as she reaches the pinnacle of her desired isolation, she realises that she might have made a mistake. Can she learn to trust in a human connection that might just let her down?
From the writer of the 'Engaging and Uplifting' (Daily Mail) HELEN AND THE GRANDBEES, artist Alex Morrall explores themes of love and isolation in her novel, ADRIFT. Follow Bernie's story from the coast to early 2000's London.
"I loved this poignant exploration of how events from our past can hold us back from enjoying the happiness we so deserve. Both Bernie and Robin are complex, nuanced characters which makes their story compelling and enjoyable."Joanna Little, graduate of UEA's Creative Writing MA, reader for flash fiction journal and literary competitions.
"A lovely, practically poetic novella which explores emotional attachment and the experiences which can sever such attachments... Character-driven in the most nuanced and empathetic way, this is a story which will make you think, will make you feel." Bookstagrammer Bextwixtthepages
