The one constant in Martha's life is the sea, from her first accidental baptism to her final crossing of the channel. The sea is an escape from her responsibilities as a wife and a mother; it consoles her when she is diagnosed with cancer; and it comforts her when her husband's mind begins to unravel."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Swimmers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England, Southern $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England, Southern. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction. 776 1 $a Best, Gillian, 1975- $t Last wave. $w (CaOONL)20179022911 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023449.0 952 $l LNPC975 $d 20211006010759.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D993D4EB42211E9B815892E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
