  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.
