Morwenna’s family have owned the funeral parlour in Carregton Crow for as long as anyone can remember. It’s Morwenna’s job to accompany her father as he sails the coffins of the dead out to the island cemetery, and to help with burials and care for the graves. As with any place on the edge of the sea, stories and legends abound, including tales of tide singers, mysterious sea people with the power to control the waves.
When a strange girl is found washed up, Morwenna cares for her, in the face of village prejudice, and as a result, a miracle happens. The sound and taste of the sea roll through this story, wild, strange and powerful, the strength of a storm matched by Morwenna’s quiet kindness and compassion. An unforgettable story.
In the wake of a tempest hitting her town, Morwenna is left to take care of a stranger washed ashore. The storm is just another of many that have plagued the town for years - people blame the tide singers, legendary sea people who are said to charm storms with their singing.
Read the full description
Morwenna has never believed the tales, but when she is left alone with the stranger, she realises this is no ordinary girl. Can the stories be true? Can the girl control the tides with nothing more than her voice? Her arrival brings danger of a different kind, and Morwenna must draw on all the courage she has in order to stop a conflict that could destroy her home.
