Synopsis

SaltWater is a book of short fiction inspired by the sea, by award-winning fiction writer Lane Ashfeldt. The diverse stories gathered here include tales that unfold now or in the past, along rural or urban coasts, and are set in a range of countries from Ireland to as far away as New Zealand. Some of them are fast-paced while others beat to gentler rhythms – but what they share in common, besides their link with the sea, is that they are original new narratives vibrantly brought to life. Like the sea itself, SaltWater is by turns dark and foreboding, at other times life affirming and hopeful. A powerful, arresting collection from a voice we can expect to hear more from in the future.

About this title

Review:

This is Lane Ashfeldt’s first collection, but she is no beginner: she has already won several prizes and been published in the London Magazine and various anthologies. The author has a real passion for the sea in all its moods, from calm starry night to raging storm, and understands those who cannot live without it. These are highly imaginative, fast-moving stories, with satisfying endings. Lane Ashfeldt is definitely a name to watch. —The Irish Examinerfull text here
