‘Salty, strange and haunting, The Woman in the Waves blends myth, legend, history and intrigue with just the right amount of darkness. Like a cold, cruel sea, this book will make you shiver.’ Kell Woods, author of After the Forest and Upon a Starlit Tide
‘The Woman in the Waves is a haunting story that weaves a tale of mystery, love, and the relentless pull of the past. Set in the atmospheric post-war town of Widow's Peak, readers are immersed in the life of Missy, a young woman grappling with her family's secrets and her own inner demons. Through skilful prose, Camille Booker cleverly explores the depths of human emotion and the complex interplay between reality and imagination. Missy's poignant journey, set against the backdrop of the enigmatic sea, is both heart-wrenching and intriguing, resonating long after the final page is turned.’ Lauren Chater, author of The Beauties and The Lace Weaver
‘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
‘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
‘This unique story is so atmospheric and intriguing, it crept under my skin and stayed there long after I stopped reading. The author 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
‘The Woman in the Waves is an atmospheric coastal mystery full of suspense and intrigue. Set in a small fishing town in 1920s Australia, Booker’s beautiful prose and masterful storytelling bring the coast to life on each sea-drenched page. I couldn’t put this down; the characters and evocative coastal setting haunted me afterwards.’ Fiona Clarke, winner of the Exeter Novel Award
‘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

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.
