'Prose written with the pen of a poet' -- Desmond Morris * author of The Naked Ape * 'Full of wisdom and poetry and epic emotion, This is My Sea explores grief, memory and loss through vivid words and striking imagery. It echoes lost summers and the beauty of life, like a shell held to the ear' -- Ed O’Loughlin * author of The Last Good Funeral of the Year * 'Really beautiful, a powerful and impactful piece of writing' -- Niamh Fitzpatrick * author of Tell Me the Truth About Loss * 'A profound, richly expansive account of love, loss and the healing power of water. Magical' -- Alison Walsh * author of The House on Seaview Road * 'This book made me cry. Which feels appropriate, because grief and the sea go hand-in-hand - saltwater is the place to take sorrow, and leave it, emerging with hope and vigor. It also lifted me. Miriam Mulcahy writes so beautifully, it's impossible not to feels the joy as well as the pain' -- Emily Hourican * author of The Glorious Guinness Girls *
