Dry Dock is the second novel by Marina da Nadous. It’s the sequel to the glorious, exciting and heart-wrenching tale, The Celestial Sea. Take a middle-class English mother, her husband and family from the contentment of a teaching life in the south of England, to the wild, green hills of a New Zealand coastal town – then introduce her to a creative New Zealand-born teacher, who enters both her family life and the hidden depths of her heart. The result is a deeply evocative romance and adventure that shakes the foundations of her marriage, exposes well-buried inner-secrets, confronts deeply-held religious beliefs and leads them to a new understanding. Unfolding amongst the beautiful scenery of New Zealand, the spiritual passion that grows between them is aided by their private text messaging; their love growing through the rocks and whirlpools of everyday family and school life. Richly sensual and deeply poetic, Dry Dock shows readers the humorous, playful, despairing and troubled twists and turns of their powerful relationship. Find out how their story ends in Marina’s forthcoming books entitled Setting Sail, Calm Waters, No Horizon, Kookaburra on the Deck, Time is the Brake.

“[A] gripping, and at times unsettling, history of . . . the Zeytun Gospels, a lavishly illuminated Armenian book that miraculously survived centuries of war.” —The Wall Street Journal In 2010, the world’s wealthiest art institution, the J. Paul Getty Museum, found itself confronted by a century-old genocide. The Armenian Church was suing for the return of eight pages from the Zeytun Gospels, a manuscript illuminated by the greatest medieval Armenian artist, Toros Roslin. Protected for centuries in a remote church, the holy manuscript had followed the waves of displaced people exterminated during the Armenian genocide. Passed from hand to hand, caught in the confusion and brutality of the First World War, it was cleaved in two. Decades later, the manuscript found its way to the Republic of Armenia, while its missing eight pages came to the Getty. This is the biography of a manuscript that is at once art, sacred object, and cultural heritage. Its tale mirrors the story of its scattered community as Armenians have struggled to redefine themselves after genocide and in the absence of a homeland. Heghnar Zeitlian Watenpaugh follows in the manuscript’s footsteps through seven centuries, from medieval Armenia to the killing fields of 1915 Anatolia, the refugee camps of Aleppo, Ellis Island, and Soviet Armenia, and ultimately to a Los Angeles courtroom. Reconstructing the path of the pages, Watenpaugh uncovers the rich tapestry of an extraordinary artwork and the people touched by it. At once a story of genocide and survival, of unimaginable loss and resilience, The Missing Pages captures the human costs of war and persuasively makes the case for a human right to art. “A well-told tale of the history of the Armenian people [and] a wondrous and terrifically engrossing journey of this sacred religious object and priceless work of art.”—Michael Bazyler, author of Holocaust Justice: The Battle for Restitution in America’s Courts
