Meer over het boek

The novella features Henry Whalley, an aging merchant captain whose past as a daring sailor contrasts sharply with his current struggles. After losing most of his savings in a banking collapse, he reluctantly sells his ship to help his daughter in need. This decision leads him to partner with a man he distrusts, raising questions about loyalty and the sacrifices one makes for family. Set against the backdrop of maritime life, the story explores themes of loss, resilience, and the complexities of human relationships.
