The Skeleton Coast of Namibia on the west coast of Africa, an isolated and treacherous coastline, is a barren and hauntingly beautiful graveyard for shipwrecks.
Accompanied by her teenage son, Mark, Charlie Brokenshaw is in Africa to pay her respects to her recently deceased mother. Burdened by her own crumbling marriage, Charlie finds she must set out to the Skeleton Coast to track down her son when her eccentric father takes him on a fishing trip, with little idea of just how hazardous her passage will become.
Kathy George’s novel ADRIFT is a poignant and compelling account of a mother’s journey, and an exploration of the complex nature of guilt and love.
