Bookseller recommendation

“My number one audio book of 2024. It took me to a place that made me want to run back in time and feel everything you feel when you realise you can have a chosen family that will be with you forever. Gav will live in my heart forever alongside 'It's A Sin's' Ritchie. The narrator, Catrin Walker-Booth deserves the highest praise for her accents and character enhancement. An incredible debut from Ania Card who lives in Brighton but was born and grew up in Poland. ”
— Kelly • Chapter 34

Summary

It's after a night in Cardiff's loudest gay bar that Toni first lays eyes on Gav, a retired Welsh boxer, and his boyfriend Karol, an aspiring Polish photographer. The trio soon fall into an intimate, ambiguous love triangle.

After a tragic event at a beach in Swansea, the trio are ripped apart, and Toni escapes to London, becoming caught between a convenient, loveless relationship and an illicit, lustful affair.

Lost halfway between the British future she has always wanted, and the Eastern European past she has been running from, Toni can only wonder where and with whom she really belongs.

Above Us The Sea is an ode to the tangled remains of lost loves and the imprints left by grieving souls, yearning for connection. This is a story of aching and emerging, intimacy and distance, set against an increasingly hostile landscape.
