In Wild Dark Shore, Charlotte McConaghy returns with a storm-lashed, emotionally raw tale that’s as urgent as it is beautiful. Set on the isolated island of Shearwater, just off the edge of the Antarctic, the novel plunges us into the fragile rhythms of a family barely holding on—to each other, and to the remnants of a world slipping beneath the waves.
Dominic Salt and his three children are the last stewards of a place once teeming with life and research. Their quiet, aching solitude is shattered when a stranger—Rowan—washes ashore during a violent storm. As she heals among them, so too begins the unraveling: of secrets, of trust, of the thin thread tethering them to safety.
But Rowan didn’t come to Shearwater by chance. And Dominic has reasons of his own to keep the island cut off from the world. As wild weather closes in and the radios fall silent, the line between protection and deception blurs, and the stakes grow deadly—not only for the hearts of those on the island, but for the future of what they’ve sworn to protect.
McConaghy writes with the fierce tenderness of a storm-tossed lullaby. Her prose hums with the pulse of nature—evocative, spellbinding, and quietly devastating. Wild Dark Shore is a novel that asks: when the world is ending, what will we save? And what will we risk to feel human again?
A searing, cinematic exploration of survival, redemption, and the wild love that binds us—this is Charlotte McConaghy at her boldest.
