Description
A powerful new novel from the Walter Scott Prize-winning author of The Gallows Pole, set against the backdrop of post-war England. The Offing tells the story of Robert Appleyard, a young man from a coal-mining village in Durham, who sets out on foot to explore the northern countryside. There, he meets Dulcie, an eccentric and worldly older woman who lives in a ramshackle cottage facing out to sea. As they form an unlikely friendship, their lives are transformed by the simple pleasures of rich food, sea-swimming, sunburn, and poetry.
