In the fishing village of Newlyn, where London painters come to work in the clear Cornish light, a fisherman’s daughter finds herself caught between two creeds: an artist who worships Nature and a father whose God waits beside the mouth of hell. Mary Chirgwin and her kindly Uncle Chirgwin watch the trouble gather, told in rich West Country dialect.
