Dark, Salt, Clear: Life in a Cornish Fishing Town by Lamorna Ash
3.0
Lamorna Ash is a great writer, and there are some really beautiful turns of phrase. She also really knows her stuff, living and working in Newlyn formed part of her masters degree research in anthropology.
But. For me, it wasn’t easy to read and my mind kept drifting. I think maybe because the narrative jumps all over the place - she goes out with a fishing crew for 8 days, and refers to it in each different chapter, leading you to sometimes wonder if you’ve either missed or repeated pages.
Perhaps with different editing I would have liked this more
