Seaglass

On a windswept stretch of the Durham coastline, theres treasure to be found: jewels of shining sea glass, swept in by the tide after years at sea. Gathered together in a jar on the windowsill, each seaworn pebble is a moment in time, a glinting archive of unknowable lives. Seaglass is a collection of such moments; essays blending creative non-fiction with nature writing and memoir, and portraying with powerful observation and moving honesty the journey of a young woman navigating modern adulthood. The stories draw a map of Kathryns life, from Manchester to the South Wales coastline and out to the Thousand Islands in Canadas Saint Lawrence River. Traversing wilderness, natural history, travel and water rivers, lakes, coastlines and leisure centres Seaglass explores shared experiences, anxieties, confidence and contentment.
