Treacherous tides sweep the quicksands, claiming everything in their path. As a boy, Arthur had followed in his father's and grandfather's footprints, learning to read the currents and shifting sands. Now retired and widowed, though, he feels invisible, redundant. His daughter wants him in a retirement home. No one listens to his rants about the newcomers striking out nightly onto the bay for cockles, seemingly oblivious to the danger. When Arthur's path crosses Suling's, both are running out of options. Barely yet an adult, Suling's hopes for a better life have given way to fear: she's without papers or money, speaks no English, and chased by ruthless debt collectors. Her only next step is to trust the old man. Combining warmth and suspense and recalling a true incident, The Bay tells a tender story about loneliness, confronting prejudice, and the comfort of friendship, however unlikely-as well as exposing one of the most pressing social ills of our age. The Bay is an engrossing novel recalling the Morecambe Bay cockling disaster of 2004."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Older men $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Noncitizens $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Foreign workers $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chinese $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cockle fisheries $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Disasters $z Morecambe Bay $z Morecambe Bay $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Morecambe Bay (England) $v Fiction. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Hommes aÌgeÌs $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Angleterre $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476579 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Travailleurs eÌtrangers $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Angleterre $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476579 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Chinois $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Angleterre $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476579 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Relations entre geÌneÌrations $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 651 6 $a Morecambe, Baie de (Angleterre) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Coques (Mollusques) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x PeÌche commerciale $0 (CaQQLa)201-0249929 $z Angleterre $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476579 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Catastrophes $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Morecambe, Baie de $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473280 $z Morecambe, Baie de $0 (CaQQLa)201-0473280 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a Chinese $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00857169 650 7 $a Cockle fisheries $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866111 650 7 $a Disasters $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894782 650 7 $a Foreign workers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01729099 650 7 $a Friendship $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Intergenerational relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976251 650 7 $a Noncitizens $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805278 650 7 $a Older men $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199154 651 7 $a Atlantic Ocean $z Morecambe Bay $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01251293 651 7 $a England $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C06028AAC6111EEB8E173B432ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
