After her mother's overdose, Lydia goes to work for her ex-boyfriend's father tagging and monitoring great white sharks. As rare and unforeseen interactions between species threaten her team's research, so does Lydia's growing infatuation with her boss. \u003ci\u003eCascade\u003c\/i\u003e will be released on \u003cb\u003eApril 16, 2024.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn and raised in Berkeley, \u003cb\u003eJulia Hannafin\u003c\/b\u003e now lives in Los Angeles.

The novel is a secret meditation on gender and addiction that refuses to be defined as such, its proscenium the ragged environmental beauty that Hannafin describes with the expert hand of a naturalist. Disguised as a harrowing and erotic page-turner, the book flashes with other revelations as briefly as the sharks it worships cut through dark water.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Kathleen Alcott, author of \u003ci\u003eAmerica Was Hard to Find\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEmergency\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"I could feel the salt spray and smell the sea birds as I read Cascade. What a vivid and compelling depiction of a young woman's short but formative interlude on a stormy, austerely beautiful archipelago. Hannafin conveys both the dramas of the landscape and the dramas of their characters with great precision and beautiful imagery--I was captivated.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Lydia Kiesling, author of \u003ci\u003eMobility\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCascade is an utterly captivating debut novel about the promise and bafflement of the body and the natural world. Placing the human in reverential but clear-eyed juxtaposition with the wild, Julia Hannafin evokes the work of writers as varied as Andrea Barrett, Aisha Sabatini Sloan, and Lauren Groff. The result is richly imagined, achingly beautiful, and wholly original: a story of desire, grief, and renewal that will also teach you the proper method for data-tagging sharks in open water.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e--Justin Taylor, author of \u003ci\u003eReboot\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 9.02 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 16, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256399937785,"sku":"9781950987580","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/BqD4ZMN7hS9781950987580_9d8ddc95-3685-4918-a1d8-f622361dbef4.webp?v=1768734267","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/cascade-paperback-4","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
