  • "J. M. Ledgard's first novel, Giraffe, was published to great praise on both sides of the Atlantic in 2006. The Independent called it 'a masterpiece'; the Chicago Tribune said it was 'inspired'; Esquire hailed it as 'W.G. Sebald meets Milan Kundera'. Submergence is another bravura performance from this remarkable writer."

  • "In a room with no windows on the coast of Africa, an Englishman, James More, is held captive by jihadist fighters. Posing as a water expert to report on al-Qaeda activity in the area, he now faces extreme privation, mock executions, and forced marches through the arid badlands of Somalia. Thousands of miles away on the Greenland Sea, Danielle Flinders, a biomathematician, half-French, half-Australian, prepares to dive in a submersible to the ocean floor. She is obsessed with the life that multiplies in the darkness of the lowest strata of water. Both are drawn back to the previous Christmas, and to a French hotel on the Atlantic coast, where a chance encounter on the beach led to an intense and enduring romance. For James, his mind escapes to utopias both imagined and remembered. Danny is drawn back to beginnings: to mythical and scientific origins, and to her own. It is to each other and to the ocean that they most frequently return: magnetic and otherworldly, a comfort and a threat."@en

  • "Na een ontluikende liefde scheiden de wegen van een Britse terrorisme-informant en een diepzee-specialiste. Als hij ontvoerd wordt door jihadisten, is het de vraag of ze elkaar zullen terugzien."
  • "In a room with no windows on the eastern coast of Africa, an Englishman, James More, is held captive by jihadist fighters. Posing as a water engineer to spy on al-Qaeda activity in the area, he now faces extreme privation, mock executions and forced marches through arid Somali badlands. Thousands of miles away on the Greenland Sea, Danielle Flinders, a biomathematician, prepares for a dive to the ocean floor to determine the extent and forms of life in the deep. Both are drawn back, in their thoughts, to the Christmas of the previous year, and to a French hotel on the Atlantic coast, where a chance encounter on the beach led to an intense and enduring romance, now stretching across continents."
  • "Een Engelsman, ontvoerd in Somalië, en een Australische vrouw, die wetenschappelijk onderzoek doet in Groenland, herinneren zich hoe ze in een Frans hotel een korte romance beleefden."
