WINNER OF A SOMERSET MAUGHAM AWARD 2021 A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE
WEEK SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE A SUNDAY TIMES AND
FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Marks the birth of a new star of
non-fiction' William Dalrymple 'A beautiful account of immersion in
an alien world' Philip Marsden, Guardian There is the Cornwall
Lamorna Ash knew as a child - the idyllic, folklore-rich place
where she spent her summer holidays. Then there is the Cornwall she
discovers when, feeling increasingly dislocated in London, she
moves to Newlyn, a fishing town near Land's End. This Cornwall is
messier and harder; it doesn't seem like a place that would welcome
strangers. But before long, Lamorna finds herself on a week-long
trawler trip with a crew of local fishermen, afforded a rare
glimpse into their world, their warmth and their humour. Out on the
water, miles from the coast, she learns how fishing requires you to
confront who you are and what it is that tethers you to the land.
Dark, Salt, Clear is a bracing journey of discovery and a
captivating portrait of a community sustained and defined by the
sea for centuries.
