Book description
Closer by Sea - A Captivating Audiobook Journey
From the moment the narrator's voice drifts into the soundscape, Closer by Sea feels like a tide pulling you in. Perry Chafe's debut is more than a mystery; it's an intimate portrait of life on a Newfoundland island in 1991, where the ocean is both a promise and a threat.
The story follows twelve-year-old Pierce Jacobs, who has spent three years grieving his father's disappearance at sea. He dreams of restoring his dad's old boat, but the community's fishing industry teeters on collapse, and a sudden disappearance of Anna Tessier throws everything into chaos. With his best friends by his side, Pierce embarks on a quest that takes them through storm-ridden waters, eerie encounters with a reclusive fisherman named Solomon Vickers, and the raw beauty-and danger-of the Atlantic.
What makes this audiobook shine is its blend of lyrical narration and palpable tension. The narrator captures the quiet melancholy of island life while delivering sharp, suspenseful moments as the search for Anna unfolds. Chafe's prose feels both poetic and grounded, a balance that keeps listeners engaged even during the novel's quieter, introspective passages.
The book isn't just about a missing girl; it's a coming-of-age tale that explores friendship, family, and community resilience. The way Pierce wrestles with grief, hope, and the harsh realities of adulthood is handled with sensitivity and depth-an experience that resonates long after the final word.
For anyone who loves atmospheric storytelling or wants to feel the pulse of Newfoundland's rugged coast, Closer by Sea is a must-listen. It's a page-turning adventure wrapped in a powerful narrative about how the sea shapes our lives-and how we, in turn, shape it.
