Announcing: The Sea Goddess, by Ian Douglas Robertson
A double-novel about regret, resolution, and the eternal pull of desire
Sul Books is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of Ian Douglas Robertson’s compelling novel, The Sea Goddess.
Overcome with guilt after the death of his ex-wife, Declan accepts an invitation to a Greek island she visited more often than he ever knew.
Only the novel he begins writing, The Sea Goddess, can help him understand the past and the relentless dance of desire and its consequences. While Declan struggles to make sense of the loss of Siobhan and her relationship to their mutual friend, Teo, Brendan — an Irish farmer, struggles to keep secret a strange woman washed ashore after a tragic shipwreck.
Particularly, Ian Douglas Robertson’s delicately-wrought characters and lush descriptions of Greek and Irish island life are enough to make this book a delightful read, but there’s a particular gentleness in the deeper truths about relationships that really make The Sea Goddess stay with you long after its final chapter.
