Why read it?
1 author picked Silver Shoals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of the most eye-opening and fascinating books I have read.
Having spent much of my life amongst the islands and coastal communities of the British Isles I was intrigued learn more about the fish and I did learn so much. We all know the fishing industry has shaped these islands, but the author delves deeper into what has created and influenced the many varied communities of coastal Britain, as well as illustrating the development of our many styles of fishing vessels.
It is a colourful and enlightening account.
From Amelia's list on the lives of those who pushed the boundaries.
