Move Like Water

A Story of the Sea

Hannah Stowe

From a young marine biologist, sailor and artist, a beguiling and beautiful book about our human relationship with the sea and the creatures who inhabit it.

Raised at the tide’s edge on the Pembrokeshire coast, Hannah Stowe went to sea straight after school and has sailed on and studied the ocean in depth. In shimmering, fluid prose, Stowe weaves together the story of her own changing relationship to the sea with the bigger story of the damage we have done to its ecosystems and the lessons we can learn from its majesty, its rich ecological variety and its unceasing ebb and flow. This is a heartfelt hymn to the sea and an unforgettable introduction to one of the most gifted nature writers of the new generation.
