On the eve of Evangelineβs wedding on Winter Island, the groom may be lost at sea, a dead whale is trapped in the harbor, and Evieβs mostly absent mother has shown up out of the blue. From there, in this mesmerizing, provocative debut, the narrative flows back and forth through time as Evie reckons with her complicated upbringingβa weed-dealing, charming but neglectful father, a wild-child best friendβin this lush land off the coast of Southern California.
