About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Rich with magic, mystery and the wonder of the sea, fans of The Lamplighters will fall in love with Drift.

The hauntingly atmospheric English-language debut from the acclaimed Welsh author: a love story between a young Welsh woman and a Syrian mapmaker, rich with magic, mystery and the wonder of the sea.

Nefyn has always been an enigma, even to her brother, Joseph, with whom she lives in a small cottage above a blustery cove.

Hamza is a Syrian mapmaker, incarcerated in a military base a few miles up the coast.

A violent storm will bring these two lost souls together—but other forces will soon try to tear them apart....

Moving between the wild Welsh coast and war-torn Syria, Drift is a love story with a difference, a hypnotic tale of lost identity, the quest for home and the wondrous resilience of the human spirit.

Didn’t want to stop listening. Brilliantly read, perfect tone to give justice to the writing. Whatever the audio version of a page turner would be, this is it!

Gorgeous story of love and sacrifice

I enjoyed the beautiful language , the story was intriguing at the beginning but if any criticism, the ending felt rushed.

Poetic

Hope filled, strangely real and full of the promise of humanity. A celebration of humanity and all that is possible in love.

Utterly beautiful

Rather cloying story, rather too mythical for me. I love stories set in the natural world but I found the characters & relationships lacked authenticity.

Slightly too whimsical for my taste
