A handful of disparate lives converge at a remote seaside inn: a lovelorn professor, a renowned painter, an inscrutable seductress - and a beautiful young girl, fatally ill, brought to the sea by a desperate father's last hope. An intricate web of destinies and associations begins to reveal itself, but it is not until the arrival of a mysterious sailor called Adams that the truth in all its dreamlike beauty and cruelty becomes clear.
Alternately playful and profoundly serious, Baricco's novel surges with the hypnotic power of the ocean sea.
Alessandro Baricco is an Italian writer, director and performer. His novels have been translated into a number of languages.
