SWIMMING WITH THE JELLYFISH

Fiction
Simon and Schuster, 2001

Swimming With The Jellyfish pulls up the blinds in the sort of coastal town we've all driven through, holidayed in or lived in, revealing - with humour, originality, insight and, above all, love - lives as fascinating and eccentric as any in Dylan Thomas' Under Milkwood.

An unforgettable cast of characters fills the seaside town of Pocket Head, but one is missing. Lal's mother had mysteriously disappeared, leaving Lal and her father devastated and forever wondering why. Perhaps in the jumble of the oysterman's ancient beach shed is the secret that holds the town together.
