About This Book

A man awakens aboard a ship with no memory of his past and becomes absorbed in the routines and social life of the voyage. He observes the small dramas of shipboard society, from debating passengers to attentive crew, while forming tentative bonds. The slow decline and death of a fellow passenger casts a sombre shadow over the passage and forces quieter reckonings among those on board. The voyage concludes with a return to England in which former recollections and ties resurface, prompting reflection on identity, belonging, and the effects of loss.
