As read on BBC Radio 4 A Sunday Times Best Book of the Year An Observer Best Debut of the Year The Boy from the Sea is Garrett Carr's brilliantly moving tale of an abandoned baby who rocks a small Irish town bringing together a community - and igniting lifelong rivalries. 'Compassionate lyrical and full of devilment' - Louise Kennedy author of Trespasses 'A joy . . . Vivid loving and genuinely funny' The Sunday Times 'I didn't want it to ever end' Jennie Godfrey author of The List of Suspicious Things In 1973 on the west coast of Ireland a baby is found abandoned on the beach. Who is he? Where is he from? What changes will he bring? Ambrose a local fisherman is far more interested in who he will become and - with a curious community looking on - takes the baby home and adopts him. But for Declan the baby's new brother this arrival is surely bad news. Rivalries can be decades in the making . . . Set over twenty years Garrett Carr's The Boy from the Sea is about a restless boy trying to find his place in a town caught in the storm of a rapidly changing world.
