In this “breathtaking” debut novel, an English girl comes of age as she pines for a better life: “note-perfect from beginning to end” (San Francisco Chronicle).
Galaxy Craze’s national bestselling debut novel “captures perfectly the hopes and hurts of childhood.” The twelve-year-old protagonist, May, lives in a struggling oceanfront bed-and-breakfast run by her loving yet distracted single mother, Lucy, who strives to care for her children without forfeiting her own desires for fun and passion (The New York Times).
May pins her hopes on the things that elude her—an absent father, the London city life left behind, the acceptance of the popular girls, and matronly mothers who provide more than tea and toast at mealtimes. She wonders if her life will ever change. When a kindly writer and his stylish editor come to lodge in the weeks before Christmas, May can feel the opportunity in the air. But then her estranged playboy father drops in, threatening to upend the delicate new possibilities stirring in all their lives.
“Quiet, sophisticated, and sleek,” By the Shore is a crystalline portrait of a modern romance and that fragile, bittersweet world of youth on the cusp of adulthood (Vogue).
“Remarkable and moving.” —Publishers Weekly

Kuhusu mwandishi
Published to great international acclaim, Galaxy Craze's best-selling debut, By the Shore, launched a young actress into literary fame. In clear and sparkling prose, her novel evokes a fragile, bittersweet world of youth on the cusp of adulthood and "captures perfectly the hopes and hurts of childhood" (The New York Times Book Review). Twelve-year-old May lives in a less than thriving oceanfront bed-and-breakfast run by her single mother. Her life is filled with the frustrations and promise of youth, complicated by a loving if distracted young mother who strives to care for her two children without forfeiting fun and passion. May puts her faith in the things that elude her - her absent father, the London city life left behind, the acceptance of the popular girls who have boyfriends -- and wonders if her life will ever change. When a kindly writer and his glamorous editor come to lodge in the weeks before Christmas, opportunities are in the air. But then May's playboy father, estranged from the family for years, drops in and threatens to freeze the delicate new possibilities stirring in all their lives.
