About This Book

A reluctant holidaymaker finds himself stuck at a bustling seaside resort where boredom is broken by the sudden arrival of a former wartime comrade who now gives paid pleasure flights in an ex-military seaplane. The chance reunion brings him face to face with a woman from his past and her companions, provoking awkwardness, jealousy, and stirred-up feelings. The narrative contrasts the exhilaration of flying with the tedium of seaside life while exposing the characters' restlessness, rivalries, and fragile social graces.
