Set in the Welsh coastal village of Fairbourne, a community living under the threat of abandonment due to rising sea levels, this novel traces the porous relationship between land, body, and memory. Drawing on Welsh myths from the Middle Ages alongside contemporary lived experience, Fairbourne weaves past and present into a narrative shaped by repetition, pressure, and return. As the village edges closer to submergence, hidden histories surface, and the boundaries between myth, environment, and domestic life begin to blur.
As climate collapse accelerates and private harm remains structurally minimised, Fairbourne explores how slow violence—environmental and domestic—is normalised until collapse becomes inevitable. The novel asks what responsibility remains when devastation is no longer avoidable.
