7 Ways to Make a Small Story Feel Substantial
I recently finished reading Wild Dark Shore, a literary climate thriller by Charlotte McConaghy. Its cast is small and geographically constricted: Widower Dominic Salt and his three children are performing one last task before shutting down the final scientific operations on soon-to-be uninhabitable Shearwater, a small island not far from Antarctica, when a woman washes up on the beach during a violent storm. Miraculously, she clings to life, and saving her will affect each of them in profound ways. Despite reading another wonderful novel in the meantime, I can’t stop thinking about this story.
