Peter Doyle grew up as a barefoot boy among the fishermen of the bay, on the shores of Sydney Harbour. It was here, in the place he loved, that his family founded the original Doyles - the most famous and popular restaurant in Australia.
King Tide is the story of his rise, starting with the schoolboy angler who helped put food on his family's table during the Great Depression. From child beachcomber and boat-builder through to fisheries inspector and, ultimately, restaurant owner, we see the making of the real Peter Doyle. After facing cancer, then a massive stroke, Doyle writes this powerful and uplifting story. Unstoppable, lovable and a true winner, Peter Doyle IS King Tide - a one-off but quintessential Aussie.
