About This Book
The second volume follows a web of interpersonal relations and concealed motives that link a father and daughter to new acquaintances, as quiet domestic moments give way to deeper intrigue. Encounters and small revelations prompt confessions, a character's illness, and the uncovering of facts about a maritime wreck that bind several lives together. Alternating scenes of intimacy and inquiry, the narrative gradually exposes secrets, shifts loyalties, and moves toward recognition and resolution.
