THE PAINTED OCEAN: A NOVEL

Gabriel Packard’s debut novel The Painted Ocean, published by Corsair/Little, Brown, was selected for W.H. Smith’s Fresh Talent Series, named an Amazon “Rising Star” and “Best Debut,” and it also received a K. Blundell Trust Award while in progress. National Book Award-winner Colum McCann called it “a fearless tour de force,” and New York Times-best seller Darin Strauss called it “a thrilling and literate debut.”
