Lamorna Ash

Lamorna Ash is a British writer whose debut non-fiction book was one of the most acclaimed nature and place-writing debuts of recent years. She studied English at Cambridge and has written for the London Review of Books and the New Statesman. Dark, Salt, Clear: Life in a Cornish Fishing Town immerses the reader in the life of Newlyn, a Cornish fishing town, where Ash lived and worked alongside the fishing community. The book is a vivid, lyrical portrait of a place and way of life under threat, exploring the bonds between people, the sea, and the rhythms of an industry that has sustained communities for centuries. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers immersive, beautifully written nature and place-writing about a Cornish fishing town and the people who depend on the sea.
