Betsy Gillander finds herself stranded in a remote fishing village on the Solway Firth. A fishing boat has gone down with all hands, maybe the captain was to blame. As newspaper reporters haunt the village hoping to exploit the grief of the families, Betsy finds herself drawn into this bleak world, and finds out a lot about herself in the process. Thanks to wonderful descriptive writing and a very strong sense of place you feel the wind and taste the salt on almost every page.
