'Camille’s award-winning writing is rich with imagery and her vocab, truly decadent. You can taste the brine, smell the sea. I often had to stop and linger over her phrases.' Holly Craig, best-selling author of The Shallows and The Rip
'Camille’s writing had me hooked from the very first page. The depth of her characters, the atmospheric setting, and the wonderful storytelling makes The Woman in the Waves a must-read!' Leanne Quinn, CBC alumni
'The Woman In The Waves is that rare combination of lyrical prose with propulsive plot. The beauty and power of the landscape and Missy’s stake in myth and legend will stay with me for a long time.' Lindsey Armstrong, CBC alumni
'This utterly compelling book has such a haunting,
gothic atmosphere. I felt bewitched by it long after I'd finished reading.' Lorna Peplow, CBC alumni
'The Woman In The Waves is an eerie, beautiful book that transports you to another time and place. From the first page I knew I was in the hands of a great storyteller.' Sophie Stern, CBC alumni
'This unique story is so atmospheric and intriguing, it crept under my skin and stayed there long after I stopped reading. Camille has drawn Missy in a perfectly imperfect way: naive but cunning, selfish but loving. Get ready to be mesmerised, wave by wave and chapter by chapter.' Ike Levick
'Missy and Shaw are characters that continue to stick with me, long after first reading. This haunting novel is full of stunning prose, evocative of dark and disturbing shadows in a vividly written landscape.' Rebecca Lewis-Smith, CBC alumni
'The Woman in the Waves is an atmospheric coastal
mystery full of suspense and intrigue. Set in a small fishing town in 1920s Australia, Camille's beautiful prose and masterful storytelling bring the coast to life on each sea-drenched page. Missy is the troubled main character who works her way into your heart, and that of a local detective, investigating a suspected mob killing, himself traumatised from the Great War. A doomed love affair blossoms between them and I'm not sure even Missy sees the heartbreaking twist which comes at the end as the past catches up with her. I couldn't put this down; the characters and evocative coastal setting haunted me afterwards and I cannot recommend it enough.' Fiona Clarke, award-winning writer, recipient of the Exeter Novel award, CBC alumni
'Booker is a master of gothic noir. Gripping, intriguing, evocative, The Woman in the Waves will sweep you away and leave you gasping for more right down to the very last haunting breath.' Skye Stranger, CBC alumni
'A sublime novel, beautifully written with a real hint of
menace. Camille’s ability to create such a real sense of time and place is astonishing. It stayed with me long after I’d turned the last page.' Sarah Brewer, CBC alumni
'The Woman in the Waves is a mesmeric historical story written by a unique talent. Camille Booker takes us back to a gothic 1921 on the east coast of Australia when a fisherman’s daughter, Missy stumbles upon a
body. This vivid encounter sets up Missy’s quest to understand the legends of the sea and the disappearance of her mother. With tight-lipped locals, a new detective on the case, and a lighthouse overseeing all, the stench and mystery of this eerie fisherman’s village is spellbinding. I’m mad for this one!' Kelly Sgroi

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
