Sometimes that's because he's told them a story. Sometimes he's told himself one. But when Adam joins an Alaskan fishing crew that's promising quick money, the dangerous work and harsh lifestyle strip away all fabrications and force a dark-hearted exploration of who he really is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the unforgiving Bering Sea, Adam finds the adventure and authenticity of a fisherman's life revelatory. The labor required to seize bounty from the ocean invigorates him, and the often crude comradery accompanies a welcome, hard-earned wisdom. But when a strike threatens the entire season and violence stalks the waves, Adam is thrust into a struggle for survival at the edge of the world, where evolutionary and social forces collide for outcomes beyond anyone's control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his riveting debut novel, Matt Riordan pairs personal experiences with a master storyteller's eye in a piercing examination of the quest for identity in the face of tempests within and without.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matt Riordan","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48578966585587,"sku":"9781368100076","price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781368100076.jpg?v=1772132927","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-north-line-matt-riordan-9781368100076","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
