Put your ear to the page and you can almost hear the ocean whisper' IndependentA single lighted match banishes Triton from his father's home to the employ of Mister Salgado, a marine biologist obsessed by swamps, sea  movements and a Sri Lankan island's disappearing reef. Stranded in  London years later, Triton plumbs the depths of his childhood memories -  a period of brewing political, ethical and religious turmoil - and  brings us to understand how he has navigated this brave new world, which  once lost will haunt him forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56533507572098,"sku":"9781803513584","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9781803513584.jpg?v=1775542986","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.com\/products\/9781803513584","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
