Summary of Lamorna Ash's Dark, Salt, Clear

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Great Western Railway made it all the way to Penzance in 1867, crossing the Tamar River on the Cornwall-Devon border. The line breached the ungoverned spaces between Cornwall and the rest of England, and brought some of the earliest tourists to the county.

#2 The end of the line is used to explain the high numbers of rough-sleepers in the area: people end up here because there is no place further to go. The phrase end of the line loses its satisfying sense of completion, instead signifying something more oppressive.

#3 I drag my case along the empty carriage and step down onto the platform. I can only see a rusted vending machine and a passengers’ waiting room with a few rows of plastic-backed chairs. I try to remember what it felt like to see Denise and Lofty for the first time, but I can’t.

#1

The Lamorna Walk is a long-standing Newlyn tradition that involves almost the entire town taking the coastal path to Lamorna Cove for a rowdy piss-up at the Lamorna Wink pub.

#2

Mousehole, a fishing village in Cornwall, looks exactly how you would paint the idealized fishing village. But in the smoothing brush strokes of the artist, the messiness of life has been wiped away.

#3

I have a connection to Cornwall that goes beyond just my name. I was named after the small cove where my mother’s family is from, and I have always felt a sense of absence when I was away from there.
