George Grey has been abroad for 40 years. He returns home nursing a vision of an England that has all but vanished. Everything seems cold and hostile. Moreover, George can't seem to make heads or tails of his only daughter, nor she him. Then George hatches his plan! He will escape--to the sea. Once embarked, George conjures up his earlier life--and the characters and events of the past become subtly, intricately interwoven with the demons and uncertainties of the present. These confused daydreams counterpoint to his growing command of his boat and love of the sea. "Engaging, eventful, often very funny and quite beautifully written." (The London Times)
