The sea has always been in Claire Lutrísque's blood. Descended from Canada's native Haida people, she is hurled by tragedy on a southward path, to the warm waters of Mozambique, where she joins the fight to safeguard the region's coral reefs. Navy diver Klaas Afrikaner first swam into these same waters on a covert military mission. Seven years later, he is languishing as a divemaster in the sleepy coastal town of Tofo. But the sharkfin trade is threatening the only thing that keeps him going. So he too must rise to his calling. A shared love of the ocean and a deep desire to protect it brings these kindred spirits together.Steeped in the myths of the sea, Lynton Francois Burger's novel is as lyrical as it is exhilarating. Part ecological thriller, part tender love story, She Down There is a timely song to the world's oceans and the creatures living in them.
