Seascraper

Seascraperaf Benjamin Wood
Bag om Seascraper

Tom lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in quaint Longferry, working his grandfather's trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his horse and cart to the grey, gloomy beach and scrape for shrimp, spending the rest of the day selling his wares, practising the guitar while his Ma's asleep, and daydreaming about Joan Wyath down the street.When a striking visitor turns up, an American who oozes glamour, Tom thinks it's a good deal - show him around the misty coast in exchange for enough money to raise an eyebrow at the bank, maybe enough to broaden the narrow horizons he's begun to strain against. Mr Acheson says he's in the movie business, but how much of what he says is Hollywood magic?SEASCRAPER is a mesmerising, haunting portrait of a man in a slow war of attrition - with the elements, with himself, and with the ghosts of his family's past.
