The Bright Fish

Somethings not right aboard the cruise ship Aurora. Yet thats probably what you would think when youre with the girl you love and everyone else is about fifty years your senior. Youre three thousand miles from home young and high on emotion. Maybe it just ratchets up the sense of adventure.And yet perhaps something really is wrong. Theres the passenger everyone thought was dead but who reappears one evening in the lounge without comment or explanation. And eighty-year-old Celia Soper who reads Tarot cards but only for the history of the world ... whatever that means. And then of course the disappearances. Which apparently only you two have noticed.Above all there are the bright fish creatures the size of dolphins that materialise unexpectedly at intervals alongside the hull glowing with indescribable colours. And which never seem to inspire the sort of delight one might expect.Quite the opposite in fact.The Bright Fish deals with the meaning of love and life and ultimately death. Are we always essentially alone or is true interdependency possible? Is death our beginning or end? Or both? Conversely is the truth stranger than we can possibly imagine?
