Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The opening scene in Jeremy Page’s novel is an absolute stunner.” —New York Times
“Page is a sensitive, pensive writer, and he has endowed Guy with the same skill to compose this poignant story within the story…As introspective and painful as Sea Change is, it remains engaging and even surprising all the way to the end. Page knows enough about real grief to be aware that it follows no regular stages.” —Washington Post Book World
“Gripping…Meditative…The slow, thorough Sea Change is a success…Page’s musings have a light touch but never meander too far without finding some way to serve the story…An authorial statement about humanity’s conflicting desires to protect and to persevere.” —Time Out (New York)
“British narrator John Lee kicks this production into high gear as he recounts the story of Guy, a man whose life compass goes missing for a long time. He journeys on the North Sea on a refurbished Dutch barge he calls home. Lee compassionately describes how Guy chronicles an imagined diary of a life never lived—with a family he never thought he’d lose. Lee delivers a complicated story of a father’s grief and provides the backdrop for Guy’s guarded metamorphosis when he meets two women at sea and gradually discovers that life may have purpose for him once more.” —AudioFile
“[Page’s] minutely observed characters and his evocation of almost every subject he treats are masterful.” —Booklist
“This haunting, beautifully realized novel concerns perhaps the most devastating loss one can experience—the loss of a child…Page depicts Guy’s devastating emotions superbly, engaging the themes of love and loss with remarkable tenderness, sympathy, and compassion. The descriptions of the sea, the weather, and the coastal estuaries that Guy visits are also powerful and poetic. A poignant and heartbreaking novel enthusiastically recommended for all readers.” —Library Journal 
“A lyrical and elegiac novel about a real past and an imagined future…Impressive.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A lyrical and elegiac novel…Impressive.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
