Bookmarker's Notes
Five vingettes that flesh out the women of this book in a way that keeps them perfectly in character; quiet and deceptively small, but resounding with the strength and agency that comes simply from women actively engaging with their world.

Bookmarker's Notes
A brilliant backstory for a walk-on character that creates the same complex history as the book does. The prose is poetic and deceptively simple, and full of how the sea affects sailors whether they leave it behind or not.
