Whale Fall : The BBC Between the Book Covers Pick

Including poems specially adapted into melody and song for this audiobook.

One of The New York Times Best Audiobooks of 2024

A BBC ‘BETWEEN THE COVERS’ BOOK CLUB PICK

'I didn't want it to end' - Maggie O'Farrell

'Powerful . . . written with a calm, luminous precision' - Colm Tóibín

An Observer Best Debut of the Year

It is 1938 and on an island off the coast of Wales, Manod is trying to imagine her future. Her choices are stark: she must either stay and look after her father's house, in the wild landscape that drove her mother to madness, or marry and leave. And so, when two English anthropologists arrive on the island, Manod senses the possibility of a thrilling new life. But, as she becomes entangled in their work, and their strange relationship, the outside world she had yearned for appears a much darker place than she could ever have imagined.

Elizabeth O’Connor’s beautiful, devastating debut Whale Fall tells a story of longing and betrayal set against the backdrop of a world on the edge of great tumult.

'The quiet cadences of Whale Fall contain a deep melody of loss held and let go. It is a gentle, tough story about profound change' - Anne Enright
