About the book 

On a wild and remote research island between Australia and Antarctica, Dominic Salt and his three children live as caretakers. This island is home to seabirds and seals, black sand beaches and windswept mountains, and a library housing many thousands of seeds from all over the world.  

Living in isolation, the Salt family’s lives are turned upside down when a mysterious woman washes up on their shores. Why is she here? What secrets is she keeping from them – and what secrets are they keeping from her? A stunning love letter to the wilderness and to our world; a novel of heart-stopping twists, dizzying beauty and ferocious love, Wild Dark Shore is a story about the impossible choices we make to protect the people we love, even as the world around us is collapsing.
