Summary

In "When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead," George Mrs. Corbett masterfully weaves a tapestry of maritime folklore and the human condition, exploring themes of loss, resilience, and the often-unseen connections that bind people to their past. With a poetic prose style rich in imagery and emotion, Corbett immerses readers in a coastal landscape that serves as both a physical setting and a metaphorical representation of the tides of memory and grief. The narrative oscillates between myth and reality, inviting readers into the depths of psychological introspection and communal storytelling. George Mrs. Corbett draws upon her extensive background in marine archaeology and cultural anthropology, disciplines that have deeply informed her fictional world. Her fascination with ocean lore and the historical relationship between communities and the sea offers insight into the nuances of her characters' struggles. The author'Äôs personal experiences'Äîgrowing up in a coastal town fraught with maritime history'Äîgreatly contribute to the authenticity and emotional resonance of her work, allowing her to craft relatable and heartfelt narratives. This poignant tale is highly recommended for readers seeking both adventure and introspection. Corbett's novel will resonate with lovers of literary fiction and those interested in the profound connections between humanity and nature. "When the Sea Gives Up Its Dead" is not just a journey into the depths of the ocean; it is a compelling exploration of the human spirit.

    Who do you trust? 
    Nuss needs a new life, one she hopes will bring better opportunities and solitude. With that motivation alone, she’s traveled weeks with a caravan that is full on judgment and empty on safety. 
    Now, only days away from her goal, the unwelcome arrival of two sorcerers threatens to stop her. And if they don’t, then the silent creature they've tracked to the caravan might. A creature far too capable of hiding in plain sight and wearing any face.  
    As the sorcerers' search brings them close to her, Nuss realizes the creature may be even closer. In a world where any connection with other people could get you cursed and executed, Nuss must determine who, if anyone, can be trusted. Failure may end her old life before her new one can even begin. 
    Cursed is the stand-alone (short story) prequel to Whisper, first book in The Entian Curse Trilogy!

    Short stories that are “achingly true to life when it comes to the many ways mothers and daughters grow together and apart, over and over again” (O, The Oprah Magazine).   “Mothers and daughters go at it in the way only mothers and daughters can, with full hearts and claws out, in Natalie Serber’s funny, bittersweet collection” of short fiction named a New York Times Notable Book (Vanity Fair).   In a battle between a teenager and her mother, wheat bread and plain yogurt become weapons. An aimless college student, married to her much older professor, sneaks cigarettes while caring for their newborn son. On the eve of her husband’s fiftieth birthday, a pilfered fifth of rum, an unexpected tattoo, and rogue teenagers leave a woman questioning her place. And in a suite of stories, we follow capricious, ambitious single mother Ruby and her cautious, steadfast daughter, Nora, through their tumultuous life—stray men, stray cats, and psychedelic drugs—in 1970s California.   “The characters are irresistible . . . Serber writes with exquisite patience and sensitivity, and is an expert in the many ways that love throws people together and splits them apart, often at the same time.” —TheWall Street Journal   “From its first page, Serber’s debut collection plunges us into the humid heat and lightning of a perfect storm: that of American mothers and daughters struggling for power, love, meaning, and identity. . . . Serber’s writing sparkles: practical, strong, brazenly modern, marbled with superb descriptions.” —San Francisco Chronicle   “Mothers and daughters burst from these pages in stories about food, boyfriends, birthdays, husbands and more.” —Houston Chronicle   “In the tradition of Lorrie Moore and Tobias Wolff, Natalie Serber’s stories uncover the secret hearts of seemingly ordinary people. Funny, heart-felt, and keenly perceptive, this is a book worth shouting about.” —Dan Chaon, author of If I Loved You I Would Tell You This
