For lovers of Howard Norman's "The Bird Artist," "Prince" is an
evocative, richly imagined novel about a defining season in the
life of a young outcast. In 1912 at a provinical Danish seaside
hotel, twelve-year-old Malte, a charity case from the city, revels
in the freedom of summer. Largely a solitary boy, Malte spends his
days on the beach, transfixed by the sea. When a coffin containing
a young sailor drifts ashore, Malte is soon absorbed in the
sailor's tragic love story and dramatic death, and their fates
become dangerously intertwined.
