A tender, unusual and gorgeously wrought love story' RACHEL JOYCE

Nefyn has always been an enigma, even to her brother Joseph with whom she lives in a small cottage above a blustery cove.

Hamza is a Syrian mapmaker, incarcerated in a military base a few miles up the coast.

A violent storm will bring these two lost souls together - but other forces will soon try to tear them apart...

Moving between the wild Welsh coast and war-torn Syria, Drift is a love story with a difference, a hypnotic tale of lost identity, the quest for home and the wondrous resilience of the human spirit.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

I don’t think anything I can say can capture this book. It was like a dream, one that you don’t want to wake from. It was bitterly realistic and walked the broken-glass edge of how cruel humans can be, but it wasn’t dark; instead it was almost child-like in its luminous beauty, its kindness, and the kind of magic that so much fantasy will never quite capture.

I will read this one again, probably multiple times. As close to perfect as I have read in a very, very, very long time.
