    The Light by the Sea - A Novel
    (2021) Kruger, Abraham; Coovadia, Imraan
    In 1990's South Africa, Danny is haunted by the tragic death of his younger brother. When he moves with his parents to a small coastal town at the bottom of the world, he finds Clara, a bright haired girl with her own painful story. Together, they learn to live and love in a world which they seldom understand. Around them forces shape their paths in ways beyond their comprehension, and they must learn to navigate the lies of adults. Their relationship, naïve and pure, plays out in the Eden of their surroundings. When their longing for comfort from their individual pain drives them apart, Danny must decide if the truth will be able to keep them together and set him free. The brooding memory of his brother threatens to pull him apart, and leads him to a startling understanding. The Light by The Sea is a novel of unseen pain, innocent love and the coming of age journey of two young people trying to find the light again.
