The Shouting of Men - E-book - ePub

Brannigan Bay in 1012: tranquil, remote, a fishing village untouched by the worldliness and developing big business of nearby Cape Town, and home to the Brannigans for three generations. Jay Brannigan's life revolves around the sea, on which he makes his living, his sick mother and the exuberant, yet headstrong Magda de Vries, with whom he shared his childhood and whom he intends to marry. Their future seems secure and unquestioned ...
Until the advent of Preston Whitehead, the spoiled, wealthy heir to an extensive commerical fishing concern. Immediate rivals, for Magda's love and for pre-eminence in Brannigan Bay, the corrosive antipathy between the two men, equally strong and self-willed, deepens until the structure of the Bay community and the hopes of the next generation are  threatened at every level. Powerful and absorbing, The Shouting of Men is a saga of conflict, violence and love in which reconciliation can only be achieved in death.
