Let Not the Waves of the Sea Book

Boxing Day 2004 and an apocalyptic tsunami overwhelms the exquisite Thai island of Ko Phi Phi. Holidaying on the island with his girlfriend is Dominic the brother of Simon Stephenson. Dominic was one of 230,000 people killed by the catastrophic events and this is his brother's account of his personal grief. Loss, grief and bereavement are almost taboo, too horrific to contemplate, too personal to reach out to. How can personal loss be described? Simon Stephenson does just that. This is an intense study of loss, with all the horror, disbelief and desolation. It is a beautifully written book and charts his lonely journey through this new life thrown at him without mercy, from denial, lurching fear, desperate searches and final acceptance that his brother is lost. This is not an easy read but ultimately it is a celebration of a brother's life and a powerful statement of a brother's love.Read More

    LET NOT THE WAVES OF THE SEA is Simon Stephenson's account of his journey following the loss of his brother in the Indian Ocean tsunami. If it is a story of grief it is also a story of hope and of the unexpected places where healing can be found. Simon's journey takes him from Edinburgh in the immediate aftermath of the disaster to Downing Street in London to Thailand and the island where his brother died to the scene of an ancient tsunami on the north-west coast of the United States and to the town where he and his brother's favourite childhood film was made. Along the way there is heartbreak dengue fever Greek mythology and hard physical labour in the tropical heat but there is also memory redemption and humour as well.
