From Seven to the Sea explores the emotions of childhood and an almost limitless
capacity for imagination, invention, and fearlessness as it charts the survival
of seven-year-old Esther as she negotiates her mother and stepfather's
dysfunction, and a school environment that exposes her to further prejudice and
injustice. It is a window onto the world of a child who rejects convention and
expectation, and who embarks on an expedition into liberty and freethinking; and
who, each day, in place of school, sets out to sea.
'With this tender story of trauma in a child's life, brimming with sympathy and
insight, Jayne Joso hymns the compassion of strangers and the consolations of
the sea.' - Horatio Clare
' 'A beautifully written and masterfully calibrated portrayal of the search for
sanctuary and enchantment within a childhood under siege.' -Chloe Aridjis
