On the eve of Evangelineโs wedding on Winter Island, the groom may be lost at sea, a dead whale is trapped in the harbor, and Evieโs mostly absent mother has shown up out of the blue. From there, in this mesmerizing, provocative debut, the narrative flows back and forth through time as Evie reckons with her complicated upbringingโa weed-dealing, charming but neglectful father, a wild-child best friendโin this lush land off the coast of Southern California.
With wit, love, and bracing flashes of anger, Creatures probes the complexities of family and abandonment, guilt and forgiveness, betrayal and griefโand exerts a pull as strong as the tides.
