These were the nights when the German bombers growled through the sky their bellies full with steel and cordite. When the moon was low their dark shapes and still darker shadows came over the coast. Several hours later theyd return again wearily lighter in weight fewer in number dropping the occasional bomb on the forgotten land of creeks and channels beneath them. On one of those nights it all began for me - war after all starts many things and even though I wasnt born for another twenty-five years my story began there.It is May 1945 and as church bells ring out Victory in Europe over the Norfolk saltmarshes Gooses daughter Lil is born. But as Lil enters Gooses world her father leaves it in a makeshift boat bound - or so the story goes - for Germany his home. Forty years later it is Lils
son Pip who begins to make sense of his familys fragmented history. Who was his grandfather who fell from the sky into Gooses life and then disappeared as suddenly as he came? What was the truth of his mother Lil who lived and lost her way between the creeks and the samphire? And what does it all mean for Pip whose heritage of flood fireworks fish and clouds has left him ill-prepared for life beyond the marshes?
