‘Few contemporary novelists have the ability to grab readers by the throat with such intense storytelling power and not release them until the final page has been turned.’ Sunday Times ‘We are carried along by the sheer force of the writing.’ Times Literary Supplement ‘Reminiscent of Hemingway, he explores the clash of the masculine virtues of courage, loyalty and endurance with treachery and fear.’ Daily Telegraph ‘There is a horror sleeping in Calm at Sunset, Calm at Dawn which becomes restless as the book progresses until it explodes into spectacular life.’ Time Out The coast of New England: beautiful but savage, where storms can whip up out of nowhere, and the wrecks wash up on the beach. James Pfeiffer, a young college dropout, is initiated into the gruelling world of the trawler boats, where he discovers the thrill and terror of life at sea. For his fellow crewmen, the sea is a place to escape their past. Paul Watkins’ powerful novel tells the brutal story of life on the trawlers – the danger, the intense comradeship, and the secrets buried deep beneath the surface.
