A northern tale, narrated with a voice that turns quiet moments into pure poetry. The Salt Between Us-A Homecoming to the Quay Wall is a quiet, powerful novel about returning home, facing the past, and the salt, wind that never forgets. When she comes back to the Quay Wall after decades away, the summer is blistering so hot the asphalt shimmers and the air holds itself still. Only the wind by the water remains unchanged: cool, salty, and rough, speaking in the same fierce language it once used on her childhood skin. In that first gust, she sees the girl she used to be. The one from 1985.

Luckily, I have a lifeline: my cute, level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. Did I say cute? I didn't mean cute. He's just a friend. I definitely don't have weird sex dreams about him.
