The House on Stilts

The North Sea is ripping through the seaside town of Mablethorpe, pouring ice cold rapids through the streets. The water is chest deep in Hilda and Arthur's bungalow. Do they take their chances in the street, or stay inside as the water continues its rapid rise? This heart wrenching novel is based on the real events of Britain's worst peacetime disaster, when on the night on 31st January 1953, an 18 foot high tidal surge took the lives of over 300 people.
