About This Book

The novel follows a circle of voyagers and island residents whose encounters on and around a rugged island set off a chain of social entanglements: chance discoveries at an old abbey, contested claims and scandals, romantic attachments, and legal and financial intrigues. Through yachting episodes, courtroom confrontations, secret conspiracies, and moments of domestic tenderness, personalities clash and reconcile amid vivid descriptions of landscape and local customs. Reversals of fortune, daring flights and imprisonments, and seasonal gatherings punctuate the action, while recurring comic and sentimental scenes lead several relationships toward resolution.
