By the Shore: A Novel / by Galaxy Craze. - Tapa dura

Profiled in Interview magazine as a rising literary light even as she was launching an acting career in films by David Lynch and Woody Allen, twenty-eight-year-old Galaxy Craze now delivers a beguiling debut novel, By the Shore. A crystalline capturing of a modern romance and a young girl's coming-of-age on the British seaside. By the Shore introduces the world of twelve-year-old May, who lives in a less than thriving oceanfront bed-and-breakfast run by her single mother. May's 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 her own fun and passion. In clear and sparkling prose, By the Shore captures that fragile, bittersweet world of youth on the cusp of adulthood.
