The lapping of the sea was a lesson in mortality ... 'Live,' he heard, with each
whisper of the water. 'Live; live; live.'
Through Lucas Judd, the dead make contact with the living, or so he believes, or
professes to believe. He is a man of such penetrating insight and empathy that
many have faith in his gift. They confide in him and find consolation. Even
Joshua, his sceptical young neighbour, seems drawn by his neighbour's
compassionate sophistry. But when Erin, a much younger woman, shadowed by recent
grief, moves in with Lucas, the focus of Joshua's fascination begins to shift.
Such are the surface ripples of this poignant and precisely attuned novel. Its
depths reveal the largest of themes - mortality and love, and the ways in which
our memories of others persist. Characters appear and recede only to return as
if on a changed tide; living voices merge with the multitudes of the dead,
