A beautiful book. Lyrical prose. Heartfelt. Portrait of a period just after World War Two. Memorable characters set in Robin Hood’s Bay. I loved it

It took me a while to pick up this book but I guess it wasn't meant to be, until now. It's a beautiful book that I highly recommend, I really enjoyed the writing by Benjamin Myers.
