Description

The Dolphin by Susan Clegg In 1937, Larry Lambert had a vision for a pub built on frozen fields, an echo of a failed gay encounter in a fishing boat. He invested his energy and dreams into its construction, naming it The Dolphin. This poignant story explores the constraining expectations of society on three generations of one family. Larry's decision to build The Dolphin sparks events that unfold over decades, tearing one generation apart while bringing another back together. His daughter Joanie faces crushing duty and respectability in post-war years, while his granddaughter Lottie finds freedom her grandfather and mother were denied. A moving exploration of love, loss, and the power of family, this novel is a powerful portrayal of the human experience. A heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and the complexities of family relationships, The Dolphin is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the human condition.
