A slim novel compared to most of Pilcher‘s work, this unconventional story is reminiscent of one of the character‘s journeys in The Shell Seekers. Selina is about to get married when she sees a photo on a book dust jacket that she thinks might be of her father, who she‘s never met. She travels to a small island and her life is turned upside down. Not nearly as good as her other works, but quick enough that you don‘t expect the same depth.
