The Luminous Sea
by Melissa Barbeau
Description
A team of researchers from a nearby university has set up a research station in a fictional outport in Newfoundland, studying the strange emergence of phosphorescent tides. And Vivienne, a young assistant, accidentally captures a creature unknown to science: a kind of fish, both sentient and distinctly female. As the project supervisor and lead researcher attempt to exploit the discovery, the creature begins to waste away, and Vivienne must endanger herself to save them both.

Reviews
“The magic realism of Melissa Barbeau’s debut novel may remind readers of Michael Crummey’s Galore, and she belongs in such company. Her writing is alive with wit and description.” – The Telegram
