Above Us the Sea

"This is a stunning novel that completely captured my heart. It's a book about loss, grief, love and identity & every beautifully constructed sentence lingers. I loved it." Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things "A story that cunningly captures the tidal waves of grief, identity and connectivity. Card doesn't leave a word out of place." Amy Twigg, author of Spoilt Creatures "A deeply moving story of grief, losing and finding oneself, and the bonds of friendship, every sentence sings with beauty and sadness." Sarah Marsh, author of A Sign of Her Own "Above Us The Sea, by Ania Card is a wonderful exploration of love, loss and identity set in London, Cardiff and Warsaw. Sometimes brutal, always beautiful, this is a work of poise, tenderness and affecting authenticity, unafraid to expose human frailty and to ask important questions about the compromises we are willing to make in order to belong." Wiz Wharton, author of Ghost Girl, Banana "Card captures the atmosphere of a particular moment in British history, and the lives of people who are scapegoated and alienated by two different countries, and blossoming in the gap between them." Rachel Dawson, author of Neon Roses "Above Us The Sea shows how we can be made and remade, translated and retranslated - for better and for worse - in the eyes and arms of others. A documentation and love letter to the fantasy spaces of gay bars, indie music venues, foreign countries and the homes of friends, Card's novel celebrates all who have held us at our most vulnerable and temporary.'
