Nearly fifty years later, resident journalist Hamish Shaw continues the search for the missing man driven by a past he has kept hidden for decades. As he inches ever closer to unravelling the mystery, his estranged teenage daughter Noa Rivera decides to move in - and discovers his secret. Working together, the pair attempt to find the forgotten sailor, confronting their hopes and fears along the way. Inspired by the unique coastal landscapes, nautical communities and whaling histories of Whitby and Norway, All Weather is Passing is an immersive, imaginative and thought-provoking novel that explores where we belong, who we connect to and the paths we choose to take on the journey of our lives.
