β¦ Synopsis
From the critically acclaimed and award-winning author of Past the Shallows comes a remarkable new novel that weaves together the lives of a young girl from Tasmania and a sailor in search of meaning, whose brief encounter leaves a lasting impact on both.
Isla is a lonely girl who moves to Hobart with her mother and brother to try and better their lives. Itβs not really working until they meet Bo, a crewman on an Antarctic supply ship, the Nella Dan, who shares stories about his adventures with themβhis travels, bird watching, home in Denmark, and life on board the ship. Isla is struggling to learn what truly matters and who to trust; and this modern Viking is searching to understand his past and find a place in this world for himself. Though their time together is short, itβs enough to change the course of both their lives. And what they give each other might mean they can both eventually find their way home.
