Shortlisted for the Nero Book Awards 2025We Came bySea is an untold story of thesmall boats crisis, a story which shows the best of us. It is the story of thevolunteers who help thousands of refugees in Calais, of the lifeboat crewsmounting one of the great search and rescue operations of all time, of anunrecognised, uncelebrated, all but unknown Britain which is giving its all tohelp the vulnerable and desperate. It is a journey through an unexaminednation, a nation which is as truly great and good as the people inthe dinghies believe Britain to be. It is not the story we have been told, andit is a true story.
