Join the Fiction Addiction Book Club to discuss September's selection, Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy: Dominic Salt and his three children are the last caretakers of Shearwater, an island near Antarctica, home to the world's largest seed bank. As they endure rising sea levels and isolation, a mysterious woman, Rowan, washes ashore during a severe storm. Nursing Rowan back to health, the Salts find hope, but secrets surface - Rowan's reasons for coming, Dominic's hidden past, sabotaged radios, and a fresh grave.
