At the thought of the girl he feels another wave of doom wash over him. Hi body, no longer his own, it seems, reacts by regurgitating the eggs and toast Alice cooked for him earlier on. Afterward he is shaky and weak. He returns to the position he'd adopted during his first hours in Ridginghouse Bay, on his haunches, on the beach, staring out to the sea as though waiting for the ocean to bring him something.

Sounds like it's beautifully written! I added yo to the Linky. Happy weekend!
Good to see you're already reading books for this year. We've fallen behind, but am inspired by you to get busy.
I've never read this author before, but I really like the cover. And it's so bold to mention vomit in the first passage!
