In the winter of 1836, the crew of the Belle of Wilmington disembarks in Wherrytown. The sailors, along with Aymer Smith, find themselves marooned in the village. They navigate their dreams and desires against a stark, monumental landscape, bringing elements of the New World back to the Old. The novel captures the spirit and challenges of the 1830s, infused with the power of the sea.
