Summary of Lamorna Ash's Dark, Salt, Clear

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Great Western Railway made it all the way to Penzance in 1867, crossing the Tamar River on the Cornwall-Devon border. The line breached the ungoverned spaces between Cornwall and the rest of England, and brought some of the earliest tourists to the county. #2 The end of the line is used to explain the high numbers of rough-sleepers in the area: people end up here because there is no place further to go. The phrase end of the line loses its satisfying sense of completion, instead signifying something more oppressive. #3 I drag my case along the empty carriage and step down onto the platform. I can only see a rusted vending machine and a passengers’ waiting room with a few rows of plastic-backed chairs. I try to remember what it felt like to see Denise and Lofty for the first time, but I can’t.
