On the wild, windswept coast of South Africa, ageing lighthouse keeper Bennie West has spent a lifetime guarding ships against the dangers of the ocean. But when a mysterious mermaid washes ashore carrying a violin carved from mother-of-pearl, Bennie’s carefully ordered world begins to unravel.

Drawn into a hidden realm of ancient secrets, imprisoned mermaids and haunting melodies, he discovers that the sea has kept a truth about his own existence for more than sixty years.

A lyrical fantasy of betrayal, redemption, family and the courage to reclaim freedom.

Some secrets are not buried. They are waiting beneath the waves.
