An Seol atá Fút
A thrilling novel for teenagers with a sailing and LGBTQ+ theme.
Ríona meets Mealla at a summer sailing camp and they have a wonderful week together out on the sea. Ríona has no experience in sailing and her mother doesn’t have much money to pay for more than a one-week camp. By contrast, Mealla’s family is well-off, making their situation very different. She has a lot of sailing experience, and her family has a boat. But she has problems at home and other problems with the trainers.
Ríona also spots that the other sailors at the camp are giving Mealla a hard time, and they soon start directing their threats at her too. And the sea itself brings its own dangers and risks. The girls must face danger and threat, even as a new relationship begins to grow between them.
Will they have the skills to save themselves and others from danger? And as for this new relationship — do they feel the same way about one another? Is this close friendship or love?
