Description

The coast of New England: beautiful but savage, where storms can whip up out of nowhere, and the wrecks wash up on the beach. James Pfeiffer, a young college dropout, is baptised into the gruelling world of the trawler boats, where he discovers the thrill and terror of life at sea. For his fellow crewmen, the sea is a place to escape their past. Paul Watkins' powerful novel tells the brutal story of life on the trawlers - the danger, the intense comradeship, and the secrets buried deep beneath the surface.
