About this audiobook
My Still Life - On a stretch of Hartlepool coast that nobody photographs, a painter sets up his easel and a fisherman sits out on the water, and neither of them is really there for the view.
Over one bank holiday weekend a woman goes into the sea, and two lonely men are pulled into her orbit. What follows is small: chips eaten in a doorway, a brass band on the quay, a towel that never gets returned, daffodils bought on a Monday morning.
Set in a town the sea has worked on for a century, My Still Life is a short novel about loneliness that's become a habit, the company we settle for, and how much can turn on three ordinary days.
