In this novel he makes no concessions while depicting the scene of utter desperation in which the main characters find themselves. Using love and hope together as he has done in his own life he shows how to turn around a situation of almost nothing into a viable future. Married and with grown up children and young grandchildren he lives on the Lizard Peninsular in Cornwall. Apart from his fishing activities he is an avid painter and runner in the local Hash House Harriers.

The year is 1973 and changes are afoot in Great Yarmouth and Brokencliff-on-Sea as the New Year comes in with bang!
