Romney Marsh, Kent in the 1700's - it was sex and drugs and rock
'n' roll! The drug is opium, the rock 'n' roll is Handel and the
sex is - well, the same as it has always been! There are no lawmen,
no policemen and ordinary people are taxed on their favourite
commodities to finance a succession of costly overseas wars. The
time is ripe for any man (or woman) to chance their luck and cross
the Channel to bring over untaxed goods from France. 'Men of
Sorrows' is a novel based on the true adventures of the Hawkhurst
Gang of smugglers - the largest and most successful smuggling gang
of their time. Arthur and William Gray are brought up in poverty
until Arthur chances upon a smuggling gang and finds his future
with them. Beth Stone also joins them - beautiful, high-born Beth
whom Arthur has loved all his life. But his brother Will also loves
her. This story of love, comradeship, betrayal and treachery takes
place amid the sweeping, eerie beauty of the mysterious Romney
Marsh.
