Ben Hadden

Set in a desolate hamlet on the east coast of England, the story unfolds in a landscape dominated by high sand-hills and sparse vegetation, primarily pale green rushes that struggle to hold the sand in place against fierce easterly winds. The village is home to resilient seafaring families, with men who crew exceptional boats for the thriving herring fisheries along the coast. The harsh environment contrasts with the strength and determination of the community, highlighting their connection to the sea and the challenges they face.
