A novel about the dark gifts of grief, what it means to belong, and the possibility that time and space may not be what we think they are. It is 1987 after a devastating hurricane on England's south coast. Artist Dolores is walking the beach of the Headland when she discovers something alive in a piece of driftwood. Both beguiling and terrifying, Violet seems neither human nor animal. Has she been created by the twin forces of storm and atomic fallout? Or is she from somewhere else entirely?Decades later, after her death, Dolores' son Morgan returns to the Headland and finds a journal she wrote before his birth. As he reads, Morgan's own experiences of the Headland become increasingly inexplicable. The journal challenges Morgan's ideas about love and belonging, and unsettles the very fabric of time.
