Emma Fedor, AT SEA

Debut author Emma Fedor joins Zibby to discuss At Sea, a mesmerizing, haunting, and genre-defying novel about a whirlwind romance with a charismatic soldier, his unimaginable ability to breathe underwater, and his sudden, traceless disappearance with the baby they had together. Emma discusses the themes she enjoyed exploring: the irresistible pull of first love, the fierceness of motherhood, and the unpredictability of grief. She also talks about her own struggles with infertility, her arduous journey to publishing this book (it involves the slush pile and Pitch Madness on Twitter), the book she is working on now, and the authors who inspire her.Purchase on Zibby's Bookshop: http://bit.ly/3LlPWQ6Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3ZNSwTBSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.** Want more?
