书籍介绍
Early morning on a perfect summer's day, people begin to descend on an idyllic, secluded beach. Amongst their number, a family, a young couple, a refugee and some American tourists. Its fine white sand is fringed with rock pools filled with crystal clear water. The beach is sheltered from prying eyes by green fringed cliffs. But this utopia keeps a dark secret. A woman's body is found floating in the waters - which brings these 13 strangers together to try and unravel the riddle of the sands and escape the beach alive in this tense, fantastical mystery.

2021年电影Old (老去)的原著
一群来沙滩度假的游客被一个神秘力量围困在一个沿海小湾，随着一具浮尸被发现，奇怪的事情出现了。。一方是衰老和死亡不可阻挡，另一方是性欲和生殖的猝不及防，很有意思的对比。最后在死亡的黑夜结束后，在朝阳下，新一代的成熟生命在沙滩上继续堆砌沙堡。有一种上帝视野下的人类生命十倍速播放的感觉。
We are all prone to forget that as humans, we will all die in our limited lives. We are prone to squander our time, but time is in fact a gift and will eventually be taken back from us. The question or one of the morals is, I guess how to live your limited life. I am as confused as the characters in Sandcastle. I know nothing about life.
想起了《星际之门》其中一集，sg1小队穿越星门到一个古希腊古典风格的星球，然而那里的人老得很快，不过没有《沙堡》里的快，不然Jack只能老死在星门拨号装置前了。
