Lifeboat at the end of the world : a volunteer's story
Gregory, Dominic2026
Book
Depicts the experience of what it is like to volunteer on a lifeboat: the smells of the water, the little knots when an alarm comes, how the crew is trained, the teamwork and trust, the ethos of the service. But it is when inflatable dinghies - overloaded with people - begin arriving on the shores of Dungeness that the lifeboat crew must face perhaps their greatest test. Dominic Gregory's writing offers extraordinary power and immediacy. While most of us will never serve in a lifeboat, we might find ourselves thankful for their unflinching and fearless assistance at sea.
