About the book

Peter Grimes tells the dark story of a troubled fisherman living in a close-knit coastal community. Grimes is isolated by suspicion and hostility, and his relationships with those around him become increasingly difficult as tragedy and accusation surround him. The story explores loneliness, social judgement, guilt and the destructive force of a community turning against an outsider. Its bleak maritime setting gives the work a powerful atmosphere and reinforces the emotional isolation at the heart of the narrative.
