Summary

The sea has always been Martha's escape -- first from the sadness and strife of her childhood home, then from the drudgery of life as a wife and mother -- but she can never quite escape the pull of love and family, despite her desire for freedom. Her husband, John, struggles to understand her; their son, Iain, lives in faraway Australia; and they haven't spoken to their daughter, Harriet, for years -- not since she came home for Christmas and announced that she was in love with a woman. When John's mind begins to unravel, Martha must care for him alone -- until she falls ill herself, and wonders how she'll ever keep her head above water
