BAY (JULIA RAMPEN) (PB)

In an old-fashioned fishing community on Morecambe Bay, change is imperceptibly slow. As a boy, Arthur had followed in his father’s and grandfather’s footprints, learning to read the currents and shifting sands. Now retired and widowed, he feels invisible, redundant. When Arthur’s path crosses Suling’s, both are running out of options. Suling’s hopes for a better life have given way to fear: she’s without papers or money, speaks no English, and chased by debt collectors. Her only next step is to trust the old man.
