520    "A beautifully written, breathtakingly honest, 
       unsentimental, and profound memoir from one of the UK's 
       most popular journalists. On a hot, still morning on a 
       beautiful beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenhead's life 
       changed forever. Her four-year-old son was paddling 
       peacefully at the water's edge when a wave pulled him out 
       to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and saved their son's 
       life--then drowned before her eyes. When Decca and Tony 
       first met, a decade earlier, she was a renowned Guardian 
       journalist, profiling leading politicians of the day; he 
       was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug dealing 
       and violence. No one thought the romance would last, but 
       it did--until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca 
       into the dark chasm of random tragedy. Exploring race and 
       redemption, privilege and prejudice, All at Sea is a 
       remarkable story of love and loss, of how one couple 
       changed each other's lives, and of what a sudden death can
       do to the people who survive"--|cProvided by publisher.
