ALL AT SEA

"On a sweltering calm morning on a stunning beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenhead's life took an abrupt turn. Her four-year-old son was quietly splashing at the water's edge when a wave yanked him out to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and rescued their child's life before drowning right in front of her eyes.

When Decca and Tony first encountered each other a decade ago, they turned into the most unanticipated pair in London. She was an acclaimed Guardian journalist, renowned for interviewing prominent politicians. He was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug dealing and violence.

Until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca into the deep darkness of arbitrary tragedy. Delving into race and redemption, privilege and prejudice, All at Sea is an extraordinary tale of love and loss, of how one couple transformed each other's lives, and of what a sudden death can do to those who survive."
