A first UK edition hardback with a single #1 as the number sequence indicating a first printing. Unread but described as very good only as there is damage to the rear board adjacent to the spine, with corresponding damage to the rear panel of the dust jacket and a bump to the base of the spine caused in transit. (See photos). The dust jacket is complete and still shows the price (£12.99). Borough Press is an imprint of HarperCollins.
SYNOPSIS: “Rising floodwaters have left America an archipelago of mountaintop colonies surrounded by open water. Civilisation as we know it has ended. Bands of pirates roam the waters in search of goods and women to breed.
Myra and her precocious eight-year-old daughter, Pearl, live on their small boat, the Bird, from which they fish and trade with small communities. But before Pearl was born, Myra’s oldest daughter, Row, was kidnapped by her father. Myra never lost hope of finding her again, a hope that grows into years of obsessive searching.
When the Bird sinks, and after a violent altercation that gives them an unexpected clue into Row’s whereabouts, they join a larger ship navigated by charismatic captain Daniel. Myra stops at nothing to manipulate him and his crew into sailing north in a desperate bid to save Row…”
