The astonishing story of one family swept up in the tides of the
twentieth century, ranging from post-war Japan to suburban America and
the North Korean regime.
One evening, ten-year-old Louisa and her father take a walk out on the
breakwater. They are spending the summer in a coastal Japanese town
while her father Serk, a Korean émigré, completes an academic
secondment from his American university. When Louisa wakes hours later,
she has washed up on the beach and her father is missing, probably
drowned.
The disappearance of Louisa’s father shatters their small family unit.
As Louisa and her American mother Anne return to the US, this traumatic
event reverberates across time and space, and the mystery of what
really happened to Serk slowly unravels.
