Habits of the Sea

In Shea Ernshaw's new adult novel, Habits of the Sea, a woman named Ellie Mills revisits a mythical island she discovered in her childhood, where she encounters Clay Lockhart, a man who has mysteriously remained unchanged over the years. Following a storm that separated Clay's home from the Scottish coast, Ellie grapples with the island's fleeting existence when it disappears overnight. As she returns in her thirties to unveil the truth, Ellie confronts the enigma of timelessness and learns that some mysteries may be best left unexplored. Ernshaw's lyrical prose weaves a haunting tale that reimagines love and the nature of reality itself.
