In the North Sea, far from what remains of the coastline, a wind farm stretches for thousands of acres. The Boy and the Old Man are charged with its maintenance. They carry out their never-ending work, scoured by wind and salt, as the waves roll. Land is only a memory. This beautifully crafted novel about loneliness and hope, nature and survival, is as haunting as it is compelling. 'The Road' meets 'Waiting for Godot'.
