Book excerpt: The coastline of Ireland, from the rugged fjords of the west to the steely waters of the north, is infused with memories of loss, sadness and beauty.

What emerges is a picture of a way of life that has changed dramatically in recent years, and yet retains a consistency as timeless as the returning tide.
