Service95 Recommends In The Beginning Was The Sea by Tomás González

In The Beginning Was The Sea

Tomás González (translated by Frank Wynne)

What Hay Cartagena Says: Based on a true story, Tomás González’s debut novel follows young intellectuals J and Elena as they leave behind their comfortable lives, the parties and the money in Medellín to settle down on a remote island. Of course, it all goes wrong. As their ‘good life’ brings small defeats and imperceptible dramas, their paradise gradually turns into hell.

What They Say: “The lauded Colombian novelist lives up to the hype... extraordinarily evocative” – Independent

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, Barnes & Noble and Amazon
