**WINNER OF THE NERO BOOK AWARDS NON-FICTION AWARD 2024**

An extraordinary true story of shipwreck, survival and love

‘An absolute jewel of a book’ India Knight
‘A gripping tale of adventure’ Elizabeth Day
‘An extraordinary survival story’ Sunday Times


Bored of 1970s suburban life, Maurice and Maralyn plan their escape: sell the house, build a boat, set sail for New Zealand. Then, halfway around the world, their beloved boat is struck by a whale and the pair are cast adrift in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Alone on a tiny raft, their love is put to the test. This is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive – not just at sea, but in life.

Actually feels cool at night
Color: Light Gray, Size: Standard
I’ve been using these for several days now and I did notice a difference. I tend to get hot while sleeping, so I was curious if they would actually help, and they do feel cool when you lay on them. I also like that they’re soft and comfortable, not that weird texture some “cooling” products have. So far, I’ve been really happy with them.

Definitely recommend
Color: White, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I highly recommend this pillow case. With two sides it is easy to stay comfortable as the weather changes. The cooling side is nicely cool to touch and both sides are incredibly soft. The size is also good.

Nice & cool
Color: Beige, Size: King (20" X 36")
These are the best pillowcases! I love having a cooling side for summer and a warm side for winter. I can't imagine switching back to normal cotton pillowcases after using these. They zip on so they stay on unlike regular pillowcases.
