Mystery book
I'm posting this on behalf of someone else on another site. (Basically because I feel guilty for initially giving him a facetious answer!) This is his description of a novel he read about 7 or 8 years ago and he can't remember the title or author.
"The main character is a man and throughout the story many of the people he comes into contact with die. As a young man he lives with his sister - they are lovers - on a boat called the Ozymandias. Sister gives birth to a baby girl but then hangs herself. The daughter is blind. Father & daughter live on the boat together. When he gives her a pet kitten she drowns it. But she has a pet raven. The girl dies when she is a teenager. One or two deaths later, the man is living as an old man in a badly flooded area on the coast. He makes friends with a young girl who visits him. They kill a windsurfer and feed his body to their dogs. When the man discovers the girl is in fact a boy he tries to kill him - but the boy kills him. Novel is set in Britain."
Ring any bells with anyone?
