Sea Change, a novel by Nathan, solidifies his position as one of the most intriguing historical novelists of our time. The Times describes it as a "strange, touching tale of hope and redemption," while the Sunday Times praises it as "best historical fiction," noting that it effectively captures the period while also creating a captivating narrative. Charles Palliser praises it as a rare work of historical fiction that excels in both capturing the essence of the time and crafting a compelling story.
Eve, a young orphan living with her erratic artist guardian in a London plagued by pageantry, impending riots, and the threat of Napoleonic invasion, faces the challenge of preserving the memory of her missing mother and the father she never knew. With no guidance in this perilous world, Eve must navigate the dangers and complexities of growing up alone.
Meanwhile, in a remote Norfolk fishing village, the Rev Snead preaches hellfire and damnation to his impoverished parishioners and oppressed wife, using the example of a mute woman rescued from the sea as a focal point for his sermons. Snead maintains a close watch over this woman, illustrating his sermons with her tragic story.
Sea Change is a haunting and atmospheric novel that delves into the lives of these two characters, exploring themes of loss, resilience, and the complexities of human relationships in a tumultuous historical context. Nathan's writing is masterful, with vivid descriptions and compelling characters that bring the story to life. This novel is a must-read for anyone who appreciates historical fiction with a touch of the supernatural and a profound exploration of the human condition.
