As Lukas communes with the elements in this wild coastal place, he is forced into a confrontation with the past that will carry him to the edge of existence.Conversation with the Sea speaks with heart-rending tenderness to the present moment, as it explores truth, illusion and the deadly silencing of war in a captivating tale of love in a time of displacement.'Told with Hamilton's signature purity of tone, an epic story about how love and history intersect.' ANNE ENRIGHT'I don't think I've ever read a book as wise, or as moving. I will treasure it forever.' DONAL RYAN'Hypnotic, passionate, urgent ... Hamilton cuts a clean line to the truth of our mindless moment.' PAUL LYNCH
