A man loses his daughter while swimming one summer. This little gem of a novella—sad and beautiful and spellbinding all at once—is the tale of how he strives to be reunited with her again, whether back home on dry land or thousands of miles underwater. Racked with guilt and doubt, he lingers over her memory, refusing to let her go. He imagines and reimagines the moment she slipped away from him as he searches for her behind every rock, in every bush, in every wave.
Five Star Review: "a multi-layered tale of unbearable sadness... impressive." —James Fisher, The Miramichi Reader
"Piercing and compact, Charles Quimper’s novella In Every Wave follows a grief-consumed father through a vortex of regret and fragmented fantasies. Here, sorrow is an ocean, and lost possibilities lurk behind every swell (...) Every phrase is a foghorn, and every utterance rasps. Almost too tender to touch..." —Michelle Anne Schingler, Foreword Reviews
"... one of the most touching books I have ever read (...) a real gem." —Winston's Dad
"... a short, heart-rending piece that lingers in the mind long after the last page is turned. (...) well worth reading." —Tony's Reading List
