About This Book

A second officer recalls meeting a pale, ailing man and his striking, half‑English niece aboard ship and becoming quietly fascinated by their reserve. The uncle's recurrent heart trouble and the niece's fluent languages explain their guarded conduct and limited social contact during the voyage. Afterward the uncle acquires a house on a small tidal island that is cut off at low water, a purchase that puzzles those who know them. The combination of the island's isolation, the newcomers' secrecy, and simmering personal interest establishes a subdued mystery with subtle romantic undertones.
