That night, it didn't matter what had come before and what was going to come after. Same had brought the latest printout of the script with him. We all collapsed into stifled giggles, then put out the fire and trekked down to the beach to stage an impromtu, perfectly imperfect reading of Cousteau! by cell-phone light. "To angry, reluctant chaperones," Mariah stage-whispered. "Please can you keep it down!" yelled a voice from inside the kayakers' tent. To whiskey and blow jobs and cunnilingus, birth control, treasure, no treasure, sleeping bags, bug spray, headphones, and crosswords. Our voices overlapped and were indistinguishable. To the rest of the Lyric passengers whose bones has been picked clean by fish. We kept toasting: To Fidelia and Ransome.
Whether or not they find the Lyric, the journey Violet takes-and the bridges she builds along the way-may be the start of something like survival. Epic, funny, and sweepingly romantic, The Last True Poets of the Sea is an astonishing debut about the strength it takes to swim up from a wreck.“To the wreck hunters," Orion said, raising his water bottle, "And to whale songs." She finds a fellow wreck hunter in Liv Stone, an amateur local historian whose sparkling intelligence and guarded gray eyes make Violet ache in an exhilarating new way. Desperate to make amends, Violet embarks on a wildly ambitious mission: locate the Lyric, lain hidden in a watery grave for over a century.
Shipped back to Lyric while Sam is in treatment, Violet is haunted by her family's missing piece-the lost shipwreck she and Sam dreamed of discovering when they were children. And, one beautiful summer day, brilliant, sensitive Sam attempts to take his own life. But wrecks seem to run in the family: Tall, funny, musical Violet can't stop partying with the wrong people. No, Fidelia swam to shore, fell in love, and founded Lyric, Maine, the town Violet and Sam returned to every summer. When the Lyric sank off the coast of Maine, their great-great-great-grandmother didn't drown like the rest of the passengers. At least that's what Violet and her younger brother, Sam, were always told. The Larkin family isn't just lucky-they persevere. Fans of Far from the Tree, We Are Okay and Emergency Contact will love this epic, utterly unforgettable contemporary novel about a lost shipwreck, a missing piece of family history, and weathering the storms of life.
