'In 1976 Geoffrey Moorhouse went to a small town in New England to live as a deep-sea fisherman there. For the next 12 months he worked as a deckhand with 4 other men aboard a boat which caught fish on Georges Bank, 200 miles off the coast of North America. Then he came home and wrote his most ambitious book yet. It is both a documentary account and an imaginative reconstruction of a year in the life of a fishing community. Though it happens to be set in New England, it is a tale that might be told about fishermen and their people anywhere in the Western world.'
