The book is set in the strange town of St Leonard's. Michael moved there three years ago and he runs the Marina Fountain, which has since become a quite legendary arts venue, a drinking-party hole. In Strangers on the Shore, the flaneuring main character of Michael's fiction has checked out, started a family, moved to the coast 'where all alcoholics go to die': he has both given-up and started a-new. Obsessed with Aleister Crowley, the 'shabby magic' of this seaside place, Michael finds himself in a 'drinking town with a fishing problem'. This is a book about what it is like to live on the margins, to slide into middle-age unfulfilled and poor, scared, the same person but different. It is deeply and unashamedly romantic and it is also angry - at Brexit, at what Britain has become, at seagulls. It is a book about love, about families, and the unbreakable bond between father and son. Transcendently beautiful and endlessly moving, Michael Smith is the acid house Montaigne: literally a man 'who lived to wonder at the world'.
