On an imaginary island in the Aegean an odd company of men sets off on the captain's yacht with no questions asked: a man who has found himself in Greece, a slightly eccentric wanderer with a dog, the captain, who owns something like a boat, and a young boy, the only one able to talk to him. A father sees the world through his son's eyes. With them sails Katerina, a woman whose past nobody learns, who becomes unique to each of the men in her own way. Other stories wind into the voyage, as they do on any real journey, and the sea and the wind shape the travellers as much as anything that happens. Told by one of them, the book is his chronicle of the summer he realised he was alive.
