About This Book

A collection of novellas follows characters whose lives are shaped by sea voyages and repeated crossings between island environs and European society. One strand follows a boy raised among island communities who, after journeys with his mother, is transplanted into an urbane world and confronts the gap between primal attachments and cultivated social identity. Lyrical, sensory prose dwells on shorelines, storms, and intimate moments to examine longing, dislocation, loss, and the private spiritual restlessness that accompanies migration and changing horizons.
