Absorbing and richly observed, THE RESTLESS SEA is a masterful story of the turbulent years of the Second World War.
Three lives collide in a way that only the war makes possible...
Jack, a child of the Blitz, has fled the law to become a seaman in the Merchant Navy. The frozen world of the Russian Arctic convoys may be harsh, but it opens his eyes to a new life.
While on leave in the Navy’s secret Scottish harbour, Jack meets Olivia, the cossetted daughter of an officer family. Free to roam, Olivia relishes the new freedom granted by war.
