The most recent novel by Margaret Drabble The Sea Lady tells a story of first and last love of evolution and the ebb and flow of time that gives shape to our lives.Humphrey and Ailsa meet as children by a grey northern sea. Humphrey is quiet serious - and will in time explore the sea’s mysteries; Ailsa is angry a freckled cobra ready to strike.
