Conversation with the Sea by Hugo Hamilton
leeing his failed marriage in Berlin, Lukas Dorn revisits the west of Irelandāthe place of his honeymoon two decades earlier. While his former wife faces cancellation at work and his daughter is arrested at a street protest, Lukas seeks meaning in his broken life, with only his journal as a companion.
His inherited memory of the Nazi Holocaust confronts the present when he meets a refugee from a recent warzone. As Lukas communes with the elements in this wild coastal place, he is forced into a reckoning with the pastāone that brings him to the edge of existence.
Conversation with the SeaĀ speaks with heart-rending tenderness to our present moment. It explores truth, illusion, and the deadly silencing of war in a captivating tale of love in a time of displacement.
