'I'll be back soon, my love. Tonight, I hope.'

The last Eve saw of her mother was a wave from the basket of a rising balloon. A wilful, lonely orphan in the house of her erratic artist guardian, Eve struggles to retain the image of her missing mother and the father she never knew. In a London beset by pageantry, incipient riot and the fear of Napoleonic invasion, Eve must grow into a young woman with no one to guide her through its perils.

Far away, in a Norfolk fishing village, the Rev Snead preaches hellfire and damnation to his impoverished parishioners and oppressed wife. Snead illustrates his sermons with the example of a mute woman pulled from the sea, over whom he keeps a very close watch indeed.

Reviews for Sea Change

Praise for Alix Nathan: 'The best kind of historical fiction ... She is an original, with a virtuoso touch.' -- Hilary Mantel Praise for The Warlow Experiment: 'An extraordinary, quite brilliant book' -- C. J. Sansom A powerful and unsettling novel -- Andrew Taylor A gripping drama, fueled by the attraction of repulsion ... unique and chilling * The New York Times * Unusual, gripping and emotionally complex - I loved this book. -- Sally Magnusson, author of The Sealwoman's Gift Original and beautifully written, this is a meaty, gripping novel of obsession gone sour. -- Daily Mail A darkly compelling read * The Herald * Can't recommend it highly enough. A magnificent read ... the complexity of character and the interweaving of the political upheaval in England at the time worked so well for me. -- Philip Ardagh
