About this ebook
SaltWater is a book of short fiction inspired by the sea, by award-winning fiction writer Lane Ashfeldt. The diverse stories gathered here include tales that unfold now or in the past, along rural or urban coasts, and are set in a range of countries from Ireland to as far away as New Zealand. Some of them are fast-paced while others beat to gentler rhythms - but what they share in common, besides their link with the sea, is that they are original new narratives vibrantly brought to life. Like the sea itself, SaltWater is by turns dark and foreboding, at other times life affirming and hopeful. A powerful, arresting collection from a voice we can expect to hear more from in the future.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5SaltWater by Lane Ashfeldt This collection of short stories, connected loosely by a saltwater motif that seeps through each narrative, was lovely to wade through. Ashfeldt has a way with sensory details and although the villages, cities, and oceans we visited were foreign to me, I felt she was familiar with, and emotionally connected to, each place. I also appreciated how each story stood alone, yet characters from one place or time would show up in another. The last line of the book reads, “So calm and perfect they look as if nothing bad can ever touch them”—and that’s a good summary of my feeling after reading. Though Ashfeldt tackles some hard, sorrowful things—a sister drowning during what should be a celebratory evening, the unexplained disappearance of a lover, the sometimes confusing clashes of generations and cultures—the stories, like the sea itself, leave you with a sense that each individual we’ve met will carry on and survive, despite—or maybe even because of—what they’ve experienced.
