In 1848, the young men of Marstal leave their Danish island town to fight in the First Schleswig War, and the sea begins to claim them.
Set in the Danish seafaring town of Marstal from 1848 to the end of the Second World War, We, The Drowned follows three generations shaped by salt water, violence, and absence. Laurids Madsen returns from battle restless and drawn back to the ocean. His son Albert grows up in the shadow of a father who belongs more to the sea than to his family, while Knud Erik Friis comes of age during the world wars, inheriting both pride and loss.
Ships sink, wars erupt, and fortunes collapse as men are lost to shipwreck, combat, and ambition. Women become the authority at home; children grow up without fathers and the identity of the town begins to shift.
Spanning the First Schleswig War and both World War I and World War II, We, The Drowned is nineteenth- and twentieth-century historical fiction full of adventure, longing, and the relentless pull of the sea.
'Impressive... rich, powerful and rewarding' Financial Times
'An epic tale' Independent
'A book to sail into, to explore, to get lost in, but it is also a book that brings the reader, dazzled by wonders, home to the heart from which great stories come' Joseph O'Connor
