The Salt Margin

On the edge of a fading coastal town, Aisla Crane returns home for the first time in fifteen years to settle her grandfather's estate. What she finds is not the quiet she expected — but a tide line of half-buried letters, an unfinished house, and a brother who has been waiting longer than he will admit. The Salt Margin is a debut novel about inheritance, restraint, and the slow weather of family.

Written in spare, exact prose, this is a book for readers of Marilynne Robinson, Claire Keegan, and Kent Haruf.
