Opis

A Thousand Furlongs of Sea is a story of love, friendship, and breaking the shackles of convention and habit in the search for the true vocation. The story of three seemingly successful people unfolds simultaneously in London, on an island in the Caribbean Sea, and in a faraway beautiful city that is yet to be recognized by the readers. But be it under the tropical sun, or in the cold of the north, the three friends have sooner or later got to get honest with themselves and realize what their life has become. The decisions they make will lead to the complete destruction of their old world. But the main combat to take place is the combat with oneself and one's own hypocrisy, laziness, and fear. Natalia Kamovnikova is a writer, translator, and linguist. She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she lives now with her husband and daughter, and where she teaches linguistics and translation in one of the universities.
