Drift: Winner of the Wales Book of the Year by acclaimed author Caryl Lewis is a mesmerizing exploration of love, magic, and the deep connection to the sea. This English language debut beautifully intertwines the lives of two lost souls against the breathtaking backdrop of Wales’ rugged coastline.
In this extraordinary novel, awarded the Wales Book of the Year 2023 and the Waterstones Welsh Book of the Year 2022, readers are introduced to Nefyn and her brother Joseph, who live in a small, windswept cottage. At the same time, we encounter Hamza, a Syrian mapmaker confined to a nearby military base. A fierce storm unexpectedly unites these characters, forcing them to confront the tumultuous forces threatening their very existence.
In Drift, Caryl Lewis uncovers resilience, redemption, and hope amidst conflict, creating a captivating tale that engages both the heart and mind. The Observer aptly notes that ‘DRIFT feels perfectly judged,’ making this novel a must-read for anyone who appreciates beautifully crafted literature.

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.’
