Caryl Lewis, the three-time Wales Book of the Year winner, presents her English language debut in 'Drift', a mesmerising tale of love, magic, and the sea's irresistible allure. This extraordinary novel has garnered prestigious accolades, including the Wales Book of the Year 2023 and Waterstones Welsh Book of the Year 2022.

In a small cottage perched above a windswept cove, the enigmatic Nefyn resides with her brother Joseph. Meanwhile, Hamza, a Syrian mapmaker, finds himself confined in a nearby military base. When a fierce storm brings these two lost souls together, they must confront forces that threaten to tear them apart.

Lewis masterfully weaves a narrative that spans the rugged Welsh coastline and war-torn Syria, crafting a unique love story that explores themes of lost identity, the search for home, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit. With its haunting prose and intricate storytelling, 'Drift' has been lauded as 'truly beautiful' by Donal Ryan and 'a tender, unusual and gorgeously wrought love story' by Rachel Joyce.

This hypnotic tale offers a poignant reflection on love and redemption in times of conflict, with the Observer noting that 'Lewis finds resilience, redemption and hope... DRIFT feels perfectly judged'. Prepare to be enchanted by this 'truly magical and transformative novel' that has captivated readers and critics alike.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
