The Turning Tide | Jon Gower | Paperback
Taxes included
The Irish Sea has divided communities, but it has also carried the traffic that connected them. Jon Gower follows those crossings through social history, travel, politics and the natural world. Vikings and saints, migrants and fishermen enter a story that moves between the sea’s shores and the routes running across it.
Belfast’s shipyards and the voyages associated with the Irish Famine form part of a wider account of work, movement and belonging. Gower also pays attention to the wildlife and landscapes that make this stretch of water distinctive. For a maritime reader, the appeal is its sense of a sea as a lived place: a region shaped by ships and journeys rather than simply a boundary on a map.
