The Girl Of The Sea Of Cortez [Drama]
A coming-of age ecological fable from the author of Jaws. A Mexican girl fights family and tradition to protect the marine habitat she loves.
Teenage Paloma lost her father, Juanjo, in a sea-storm. Her mother, Miranda, is afraid she'll lose the girl to the sea too. But Juanjo taught Paloma to free dive and showed her a secret seamount none of the fishermen know about - a pillar of volcanic rock rising from the deep ocean, a teeming tower-block of habitats.
Paloma's brother, José, wants to make quick money, leave for the city and become a mechanic. The seamount could be his ticket to a new life, and he'll stop at nothing to get his way.
Anita Sullivan has written over 30 radio dramas and is a winner of the prestigious Tinniswood Award. Her other award-winning adaptations include An Angel at My Table and Shadowbahn.
