Book cover with a horse and a carriage on a beach in the moonlight.

In Wood’s world, there is no right or wrong. There is just life. #seascraper #BenjaminWood #booksky

Seascraper by Benjamin Wood 'Thomas Flett relies upon the ebb tide for a living, but he knows the end is near.' #Seascraper #books #historicalfiction #booksky 💙📚

The shift in how the reader is offered to perceive a character makes you question everything you read and everything you think you know—far beyond the text. #seascraper #BenjaminWood #booksky

There is a slowness in the narrative that captures the nature of the protagonist. There is a calmness to this novel that offers rest to the reader. #seascraper #BenjaminWood #booksky

TCL’s #6Degrees of Separation for December 6, 2025. From Seascraper by Benjamin Wood to Tides by Sara Freeman. This is a monthly link-up hosted by Kate at Books Are My Favourite and Best. Each month a book is chosen as a starting point and linked to six other books to form a chain. A book doesn’t need to be connected to all the other books on the list, only to the one next to it in the chain.

‘I want to go as far as we can get into that fog,Tom.Can we do that?'
'Yeah,but if it thickens up too much, the horse is going to fret.'
'Then how about we find the sea so I can get a proper look at it…needn't hang around too long…head up to the edge and back.'

Shrimps and Sink Pits. Book Review for “Seascraper” by Benjamin Wood. Summary: "Thomas lives a slow, deliberate life with his mother in Longferry, working his grandpa’s trade as a shanker. He rises early to take his horse and cart to the grey, gloomy beach and scrape for shrimp, spending the afternoon selling his wares, trying to wash away the salt and scum, pining for Joan Wyeth down the street, and rehearsing songs on his guitar.

…all sorts in the water now that wasn't there when he was just a lad. Strange chemicals and pesticides and sewage…Fleeting things…they augur trouble…hard to sleep of late…His dreams are full of slag heaps…he's there in amongst them with a shovel, trying to clear a path.

Not sure what planet the #BookerJudges were on when they didn't shortlist #Seascraper. Travisty!

I was debating if I should pick up The Paris Express and finish reading all the Giller prize shortlist books. But Seascraper kept calling me. I couldn’t ignore the book any longer.

#NewBookDay To assuage my grief of #Seascraper not being on the Booker shortlist, I'm reading this one, which may ease some of the disappointment!

Somewhat bemused that this book didn't make the Booker shortlist, so wanted to spread some additional love for this beautiful and quietly powerful read. ❤
