Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Rich with magic, mystery and the wonder of the sea, fans of The Lamplighters will fall in love with Drift

The hauntingly atmospheric English-language debut from the acclaimed Welsh author: a love story between a young Welsh woman and a Syrian mapmaker, rich with magic, mystery and the wonder of the sea.

Nefyn has always been an enigma, even to her brother Joseph with whom she lives in a small cottage above a blustery cove.

Hamza is a Syrian mapmaker, incarcerated in a military base a few miles up the coast.

A violent storm will bring these two lost souls together - but other forces will soon try to tear them apart...

Moving between the wild Welsh coast and war-torn Syria, Drift is a love story with a difference, a hypnotic tale of lost identity, the quest for home and the wondrous resilience of the human spirit.

Reviews

In times of war, Lewis finds resilience, redemption and hope...DRIFT feels perfectly judged Captivating from the off

A truly beautiful and haunting novel, and an incredible feat of storytelling

A tender, unusual and gorgeously wrought love story that weaves the magic of folk lore, the wonder of the sea, and the depths of human cruelty. It moves between the worlds it inhabits like the finest piece of driftwood. A truly magical and transformative novel. I loved it. Expand reviews
