A historical novel based on true events.
Set in the late nineteenth century, this fact-based novel brings to life the dramas of ordinary people. It celebrates the indomitable spirit, and the humour, that sees them through the vagaries of wresting a livelihood from the unpredictable sea.
A country-bred girl enters this world and learns to adapt - to heed the superstitions, to work like the others from dawn to dusk, and to live with the ever-present fear, shared by the women, that her husband may be lost at sea.
