A deep, immersive, storm-tossed read' Helen Jukes 'As vital and complex as the oceans themseleves' Joanna Pocock A powerful journey of sea and self, trial and hope on the islands of Shetland On the storm-tossed beaches of the Shetland Archipelago, Sally Huband is searching.

But it is Sally's quest for a fabled sea bean that unlocks the myths of these islands and carries her through chronic illness towards a new and more resilient self.
