Distant Horizons is the title of a new book written by author Eric C Bartholomew and newly published by KT Publishing.
Distant Horizons is a work of fiction that was inspired by Eric Bartholomew’s knowledge and personal experience of Goa, where he lived for several years. He had visited many times and returned to live there because he loved the country and the people – best reasons to be anywhere. He was fascinated by the lives and customs of the fishermen and their families, and full of admiration for their relationship with the sea and their ability to withstand hardship. In his words, this book is ‘a tale of the sea as well as humanity’ because he writes of people who ‘lived by it, slept by it, fed from it, laughed, loved and died by it’.
Out of this background rose Distant Horizons – the story of two families, brought together by the sea and united by love. Unexpected bounty from the sea changes their lives, bringing wealth and security, but through one man’s greed the sea exacts a price and that brings tragedy and destruction.
