Inside the Whale marks the arrival of a blazing new talent: fizzing with eclectic characters and poignant imagery, her heart-wrenching debut novel is a story to relish.
Stephanie Sandford, recently widowed, must tell her family the truth. But the past is indistinct and it’s complicated. There was Mum, who married the wrong Reg. And there was the young man from the dairy who gave Stevie swimming lessons before he broke her heart. War came, and four years were spent chopping root vegetables in the canteen of the Sun Pat peanut factory on the Old Kent Road. It’s not until she’s under an umbrella with Jonathan — dark hair and seaweed eyes — that Stevie finally starts to sense safety.
