From the earliest days of human civilisation, the sea has held a deep fascination. In The Draw of the Sea, award-winning nature writer Wyl Menmuir explores the powerful, complex relationship between people and the ocean, weaving together themes of nature, history, livelihood and identity in this beautifully written coastal non-fiction book.

The sea provides sustenance, supports entire coastal communities, and offers a livelihood for fishermen, beachcombers, and maritime workers. But it also holds immense power — shaping shorelines, carving borders, and threatening to erase what we build. Through lyrical and thought-provoking writing, Menmuir examines why we are so endlessly drawn to the water’s edge.
