Description: "An eerie and gripping story, the work of an extravagantly haunted imagination." ---J. M. Coetzee, Nobel Prize winner and author of the Booker Prize winning Disgrace "A novel of dazzling ambition and strange, haunting loveliness. Grippingly entertaining and bursting with life, it is an absolute triumph of the storyteller's art. Many books are hyped as 'unputdownable.' This one really is." ---Joseph O'Connor, Whitbread finalist and bestselling author of Star of the Sea "Both a contemporary and a historical novel, The Town That Forgot How to Breathe is a tour de force! It speaks of the sea: of those who are upon it, beside it, beneath it. Kenneth J. Harvey, a writer like no other, is as knowledgeable as he is adventurous. A very exceptional novel, extraordinary in its power." ---Alistair MacLeod, author of No Great Mischief "As if plotted by Hitchcock and graced by Mrquez, The Town That Forgot How to Breathe is a beautiful nightmare." ---Bill Gaston, author of Giller Prize-nominated Mount Appetite "The quality of his storytelling and his way with an eerie instant are too good to miss." ---The Times (London)
