It all began with the whale.

When a young man washes up on the sands of St Piran in Cornwall it is clear to the villagers that this is not a regular day. What has brought him here? And what is the crisis only he understands that threatens not only their community but all of civilisation?

With a global pandemic on the horizon and a whale lurking in the bay the villagers of St Piran must band together to survive. Intimate funny and heart-warming John Ironmonger tells a compelling story about the important things that hold us together and how hope can be found even at the end of the world.
