About This Book

A coastal rural drama follows an injured former sailor and his forceful wife living on a lonely rocky islet, their secret dealings with smuggled goods, and the nearby villagers who become entangled in theft, shipwreck, accusations, and family tensions. The narrative is presented in two parts: early chapters portray everyday life, personal relationships and long stretches of quiet, while later sections turn to a particular crime, its aftermath, investigations and eerie intimations, and finally a gradual uncovering of responsibility that resolves the fates of several households.
