The Offing

My choice for our next book club. I have so enjoyed reading this.
Goodreads synopsis:
Set during a blazing summer in the wake of the Second World War, The Offing recounts a tender story of love and friendship between a teenage miner and an eccentric older woman. Evoking the striking landscapes of the Durham Coast, Myer's novel is an enthralling depiction of the journey from adolescence into adulthood.
