I thought it was set in Cornwal? Anyway, south coast anyway. I agree the setting is vivid and beautiful. I can hear the sound of the waves just remebering the boy listening to it at night.
This book is more than a simple YA smuggler adventure. It is a story of a father-son relationship, love and sacrifice. A forgotten classic. Oh yes, and it also a thrilling smuggler adventure.
SPOILER ALERT!
I was surprised that the baddie customs agent got killed off about 30% into the book.But the story is a long (though short book) meandering tale that is quite epic.
The twist at the end is awesome! Brilliantly done. He ties it all up wonderfully.
