For fans of Julia Armfield's Our Wives Under the Sea
'Absolutely stunning . . . Full of longing, mystery, fear and hope. I loved this book to pieces!' - Frances Cha, author of If I Had Your Face
Ro is stuck. She's just entered her thirties, she's estranged from her mother, and her boyfriend has just left her to join a mission to Mars.
Her days are spent dragging herself to her menial job at an aquarium, and her nights are spent drinking sharktinis (mountain dew and copious amounts of gin, plus a hint of jalapeno). With her best friend pulling away to focus on her upcoming wedding, Ro's only companion is Dolores, a giant Pacific octopus who also happens to be Ro's last remaining link to her father, a marine biologist who disappeared while on an expedition when Ro was a teenager.
When Dolores is sold to a wealthy investor intent on moving her to a private aquarium, Ro finds herself on the precipice of self-destruction. Wading through memories of her youth, Ro has one last chance to come to terms with her childhood trauma, recommit to those around her, and find her place in an ever-changing world.
'Utterly original' - Bryan Washington, author of Memorial
'Sea Change stole my big weirdo heart' - Jean Kyoung Frazier, author of Pizza Girl

Unexpected highlight of the year!
This book took me completely by suprise! I didn't think I was going to like it that much! It's a book for people being a little lost in life - we read about Ro, who just got dumped by her boyfriend and now her beloved octopus, Dolores, from the aquarium she works in, is getting sold. We follow her through her - pretty uneventful - everyday life, memories of her childhood, of her father who went missing when she was a child. About her experience of being a child of an immigrant family and generational trauma. To be honest - nothing really happens in this book! It's just a calm stream of thoughts and emotions with the beautiful, peaceful, blue-lighted atmosphere of an aquarium. The writing style was so good, I couldn't believe it was the author's debut novel! I really, really liked this book. Underrated for sure, I hope more people will give it a chance!
