The Water That May Come

By Amy Lilwall

From the Author of 'The Biggerers', a quirky speculative tale of Britain's future...

'Warmhearted yet dark. Amy Lilwall creates a world that is instantly relatable, populated by eccentric but engaging characters pushed to their limits by an extreme existential threat. It held me rapt from start to finish.' - Alison Layland, Author of 'Riverflow' and 'Someone Else's Conflict'

As rising seas threaten to engulf Britain, four lives are on the brink:

Pinko, a privileged heir clinging to decadence;

Jane, a working-class veterinary nurse racing to reunite her family;

her pregnant teenage daughter Ashleigh, grappling with impending motherhood;

and humble young artist Gavin.

With sanctuary beckoning across the Channel, each faces impossible choices. Who will they save? What will they sacrifice?

A lyrical, thought-provoking novel which blurs borders and challenges notions of identity and belonging. In a future where we all may become refugees, it asks: how far would you go to stay afloat?
