‘Storm and Grace is a novel that seduces, murmuring in your ear, taking you into its own depths, shutting out the world so that you and the writer are the last humans in it. Artfully entwining the conventions of romantic fiction with ancient myth, ghostly voices and a rolling cloud of incoming doom, Kathryn Heyman has crafted a remarkable novel that compresses and concentrates its power before exploding with a terrible, urgent truth: love and death, the closer they get to the bottom of the ocean, are inseparable. Read it and you will not forget it.’

Malcolm Knox, author of The Wonder Lover

‘Reading Storm and Grace is like being submerged in the deep blue: enthralled, dazed, dazzled. Kathryn Heyman brilliantly demonstrates how easy it is to slip and slide from toughness to recklessness, faith to dependency, desire to possessiveness, passion to obsession.’

Emily Maguire, author of An Isolated Incident
