The Ferryman's Stories: Crossings collected over forty years

Harriet Combe

Every ferry crossing holds a little world: strangers who talk for the length of a river, the same weather watched from a different rail, the small rituals of coming and going. Here are the stories one ferryman gathered over forty years at the wheel, told slowly and without hurry, full of the ordinary kindness of people passing through each other's lives for just a few minutes. Warm, unhurried, and easy to sit with.
