The story is told by an unnamed narrator, a Swedish student at a fictitious university in Newport on the Isle of Wight, as he falls in love with his literature professor and, after a period of haunting obsession, finally finds his attentions reciprocated. Wait for the Sea is a queer coming of age tale of two adults gradually learning who they are and how to be in a relationship with each other within a repressive social and political milieu
