About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Rich with magic, mystery and the wonder of the sea, fans of The Lamplighters will fall in love with Drift

The hauntingly atmospheric English-language debut from the acclaimed Welsh author: a love story between a young Welsh woman and a Syrian mapmaker, rich with magic, mystery and the wonder of the sea.

Nefyn has always been an enigma, even to her brother Joseph with whom she lives in a small cottage above a blustery cove.

Hamza is a Syrian mapmaker, incarcerated in a military base a few miles up the coast.

A violent storm will bring these two lost souls together - but other forces will soon try to tear them apart...

Moving between the wild Welsh coast and war-torn Syria, Drift is a love story with a difference, a hypnotic tale of lost identity, the quest for home and the wondrous resilience of the human spirit.

I didn’t think I’d be drawn to Drift by Caryl Lewis, but this Wales Book of the Year winner swept me off my feet. A tender, lyrical tale of love, isolation, and belonging, set against the rugged beauty of the Welsh coast, it captured my imagination from start to finish. The audiobook, narrated by Rebecca Trehearn, added an emotional depth I didn’t expect. Want to know why this book has stayed with me long after the last word? Check my blog at momobookdiary
