About Only and Ever This

An intense, surreal story of family and growing up, perfect for fans of Matt Bell and The Immortalists. A mother clings to twin sons, desperate to keep them from becoming their father, a pirate forever sailing away. In this rain-soaked township, she will attempt to mummify them, piece by piece, to stop them from growing up, a hope founded in magic and immortality. Meanwhile, their father obsesses the seas with his own belief in ever-lasting life, learning too late that his heart belongs on shore. In Only and Ever This, a family must endure father loss, a mother's grief, and roiling adolescence, slipping as it does into arcades, caves, and the young love for a ghostly girl up the street.
