A touching story of love against all odds set against the backdrop of the violent world of the illegal immigrant and the death of 18 cockle pickers in Morecombe Bay. The writing flows easily making this a quick read. The characters are real, each with their own strengths and foibles, and I felt a great affinity with both Wen and Angie. This novel has really stayed with me, possibly because it’s based on such shocking and terrible fact.
