Mick Little used to be a shipbuilder on the Glasgow yards. But
as they closed one after another down the river, the search for
work took him and his beloved wife, Cathy, to Australia, and back
again, struggling for a living, longing for home. Thirty years
later the yards are nearly all gone and Cathy is dead. And now Mick
will have to find a new way to live: to get away, start again, and
try to deal with the guilt he feels over her death.
With devastating vision, Ross Raisin brings to life the story of
an ordinary man caught in the outer reaches of modern existence,
suffering the loss of a great love. Waterline paints a captivating
portrait of the alienation of lives lived quietly all around us,
and of one man's existence dissolved through grief, and the long
journey home.
