The pages of the sea

£12.99

Wheeler is six, her mother has gone to England to find work, and she is left with her two sisters, three cousins and two aunts. She couldn't feel more alone. It feels like a new world, and one in which she has to grow up fast. But she doesn't want to. She wants her mother to send for her as promised. Everyone tells her just to wait. But for how long? She feels increasingly under threat and begins to realise there is no one looking out for her. No novel comes as close to the experience of childhood as this exploration of what it's like be left behind in a world you think you know.

We dispatch items as soon as possible. If they are in stock, we typically dispatch books within two days. If we have to order them from our suppliers, it can take a little longer. We dispatch pre-orders on the date the book is published. We use Royal Mail second-class in the UK, and send books via standard international delivery to the EU and the rest of the world. In the UK delivery should take 3-4 days, in the rest of the world it could be a week or two. If you need a quicker delivery, we are happy to explore other options - please just get in touch at contact@verandabooks.com
