A handful of disparate lives converge at a remote seaside inn: a
lovelorn professor, a renowned painter, an inscrutable seductress -
and a beautiful young girl, fatally ill, brought to the sea by a
desperate father's last hope. An intricate web of destinies and
associations begins to reveal itself, but it is not until the
arrival of a mysterious sailor called Adams that the truth in all
its dreamlike beauty and cruelty becomes clear. Alternately playful
and profoundly serious, Baricco's novel surges with the hypnotic
power of the ocean sea.
