NEITHER THE SEA NOR THE SAND

“If the Spirit will not leave the body, can LOVE conquer DEATH?”

After a failed marriage, Anna retreats to the haunting, eerie climes of the Isle of Jersey, where she finds fulfillment in an affair with lighthouse keeper Hugh. However, when tragedy strikes, the inconsolable Anna longs for the arms of her lover... who unexpectedly returns from the dead, with a few macabre changes awaiting them both.
