Description
Lars Tobiasson-Svartman is a naval engineer with a passion for precision and measurement. On board the Swedish destroyer Svea, he makes depth soundings in the Stockholm archipelago. During one of these excursions, Lars discovers a young woman on a barren reef, which sparks an unexpected connection. The mission is a success, but Lars is left haunted by his encounter with the mysterious woman, Sara. He feels compelled to return to the reef, driven by a sense of curiosity and unease. As he reflects on this chance meeting, Lars's life begins to unravel in ways he cannot control. This gripping novel explores themes of obsession, identity, and the human condition, set against the backdrop of World War I.
