About This Book

A young man paddles a canoe into a secluded, artfully landscaped pool on private land and discovers a woman who resembles a classical goddess; their unexpected encounter unfolds amid willows, lilies, swans, and a temple-like building. The story moves between mythic allusion and everyday detail as conversations and gentle episodes develop a pastoral romance, exploring attraction, idealized beauty, and the tension between trespass and welcome. Lyrical descriptions of river and lakeside life structure the narrative and sustain a wistful, whimsical mood that frames the characters' growing intimacy and the choices that follow.
