A brilliant lyricist, Banville begs to be read out loud. Protagonist Max Morden has retreated to his childhood town to mourn the death of his wife. While exploring the larger themes of love, loss, memory and regret, Banville uses the oscillating ebb and flow of the sea as a metaphor for the insightful - often heartbreaking - ruminations of the conflicted Max.  This hardcover edition is a beautiful addition to any booklover's collection.
