The Sea Inside | Philip Hoare

Focusing mainly on islands, Hoare explores the sea, from his own relationship to it, to its animals and the history of various people. In all, it‘s almost a random mashup of topics, but done in a way that it really works. I absolutely loved it! Plus it‘s cool that the bookmark stashed inside, from the bookstore where I bought it, matches!

ErinSBecker Beautiful! I love the typography on The Painter. Are the two books with sea I'm the title part of a series or is that just a coincidence? 5y
