What is AUGUST BLUE: Seven Sea Stories about?
What is true and what is false, what is love, and how we come to terms with loss - this beautiful, tender, and often funny collection of short stories about the sea tries to answer some of those questions. August Blue, a fiction based on a real painting, describes Charlie's adventures with a group of boys who steal a boat to go swimming on a hot summer's day. Years later, he reveals to his daughter how a painting that she has known for many years was inspired by that event.
