The one constant in Martha&#8217;s life is the sea, which provides an allegorical backdrop to three generations of her family.<\/p>\n<p>Awesome will immediately begin developing <em>The Last Wave<\/em> for television, with Norton and ex-BBC Worldwide and ITV Studios executive Fraser Robinson attached as executive producers. The deal marks Awesome\u2019s first literary acquisition since receiving an investment from Kew Media Group.<\/p>\n<p>Norton said: \u201cAwesome is an author-founded company and we want to be the home for the world\u2019s most creative storytellers. Gillian Best\u2019s novel is heart-breaking yet ultimately heart-warming tale that is at once a feminist story, a novel about a marriage and a narrative about one woman\u2019s self-empowerment and liberation from domestic life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Best added: \u201cI&#8217;m delighted that Awesome has picked up <em>The Last Wave<\/em>.
