The book is a historical fiction novel based on real events which happened over a hundred years ago. The scene is set on the east coast of Scotland and within a fishing community. Some history of earlier generations is told before the main character of Dev arrives on the scene. His life is a fascinating one and intertwined in family feuds and a beautiful love. Dev is a football player also and finds some fame in this. There are many laughs and stories retold from a long time ago. Dev's life is shaped by events outwith his control, while his heroic character shines through even when he can often do nothing about things happening around him. The very hard life makes his heroism more powerful. One person struggling to save others and prevent others feeling the helplessness that he sometimes feels. One person trying to stay positive and strong for the others around him. The story itself is timeless and translates today just as well.
