    1826: Jacob Chapman stands on the beach in Lowestoft, preparing to put to sea in his own boat. Hunting herring – the silver darlings - off the east coast, just as his ancestors have done for centuries. But change is coming.
Over the next century the fortunes of Jacob's family will rise and fall with the town. As generations come and go, and fortunes are made and lost, the Chapman's will find that the seas of life are never still and that storms and squalls are always on the horizon. Silver Harvest follows four generations as they make their lives by the sea.
Daryl Fraser's debut is populated with dynamic characters and incredible historical depth. It is an homage to Lowestoft and the people who have lived its streets and sailed from its port. Meticulously researched and stunningly realised, this is a debut to savour and return to time and time again.

    Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.
