About This Book

A coastal tale centers on two brothers, Leo and Vilho, and their mother Martta as they live by and work on a northern sea. Daily routines of fishing and preparing to sell their catch give way to a series of maritime episodes: an encounter with a stranger, a lost shore or house seen from the water, storms and other dangers, a bear hunt, separations, and meetings with shipboard figures such as a mate, Captain Bertram, and Konrad Elshöft. The book unfolds in episodic chapters that mix domestic detail, seafaring adventure, moral temptation, and family loyalty, moving toward a final resolution.
