I have learned so much from Margaret Drabble's work. Her prose is very beautiful, very funny, and the same time very serious

- SALLY ROONEY,

Each of Margaret Drabble's novels has been an accurate, honest record of its time in the idiom of its time

- URSULA K. LE GUIN,

Marvellous . . . Utterly engrossing

<i>The Sea Lady</i> proves [Drabble] remains one of the most thought-provoking and intellectually challenging writers around

* Financial Times *

Drabble excels at describing the minute detail of human behaviour . . . <i>The Sea Lady</i> is a potent tribute to lost dreams and harsh realities

* Independent *

A pleasure to read . . . [Drabble's] generous and unsentimental truthfulness to the condition of childhood is very rare

- URSULA K. LE GUIN,

A touch of magic

* New York Times *

Ailsa and Humphrey met as children by a grey, northern sea in post-war Britain. She, freckled and furious; he, quietly studious; both fascinated by the other. Years later, their lives collide as adults and burst into an intense yet brief love affair. Now, after thirty years apart and at the close of the 20th century, their lives are converging once again as they hurtle towards each other by plane and train - their motivations, regrets and decisions laid bare.With the gloriously astute eye that Margaret Drabble is celebrated for, The Sea Lady is an account of first and last love; of the lapping of time at our ankles, gradually eroding and shaping our lives.

The Sea Lady tells a story of first and last love, of evolution and the ebb and flow of time that gives shape to our lives
