On today’s episode, we’re joined by author Samantha York to talk about her haunting and lyrical debut novel, The Foreshore. Set against a shifting coastal landscape, the novel traces the emotional tides of memory, loss, and resilience through characters who are just as vulnerable and unpredictable as the sea itself.

We discuss the symbolism behind the shoreline, the role of silence and solitude, and what it means to build a life on ground that’s constantly changing. It’s a conversation about grief, storytelling, and the spaces between land and water—and between people.
