Hope Street

Harry Coulbeck is an angry young man, a maverick, a fighter and a dreamer struggling to come to terms with life in a decade of unprecedented change. Harry is in love with Shirley, but Shirley only has eyes for Jens - all of the elements of a classic love triangle underpin this beautifully observed and absorbing tale. It is a story played out on the trawlers, in the pubs, the cafes and the dancehalls of the world's greatest fishing port; BOATS, BARS, BEER, BRAWLING AND BALLROOM DANCING - this book has it all, a reminder of how life used to be when Grimsby ruled the waves.
