Description
Dark, Salt, Clear Life in a Cornish Fishing Town by Lamorna Ash is a captivating portrait of a community living in a coastal landscape as stark and storied as it is beautiful. The author's journey aboard a trawler and her observations of the village and its people form the heart of this evocative work. Lamorna Ash's arrival in the Cornish fishing village of Newlyn was met with skepticism, but it was there that she found a community of complex and difficult heroes who slowly opened up to her about their lives and frustrations. Through her experiences, Ash sheds light on the history, dialect, and centuries-old industry of the village, revealing a place of dramatic cliffs, crashing tides, and rugged beauty. This assured work of indelible characters and multilayered travelogue is a testament to the author's adventurous spirit and her willingness to get under the skin of a place.
