One summer following the Second World War, Robert Appleyard sets out on
foot from his Durham village. Sixteen and the son of a coal miner, he
makes his way across the northern countryside until he reaches the
former smuggling village of Robin Hood's Bay. There he meets Dulcie, an
eccentric, worldly, older woman who lives in a ramshackle cottage
facing out to sea.
Staying with Dulcie, Robert's life opens into one of rich food,
sea-swimming, sunburn and poetry. The two come from different worlds,
yet as the summer months pass, they form an unlikely friendship that
will profoundly alter their futures.
