Description
Edmund Carr's life is about to take an unexpected turn. Recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, he embarks on a journey aboard a cruise ship, hoping to find solace in the company of others. Among his fellow passengers is Laura, a beautiful and intelligent widow who has captured his attention. As the days blend together at sea, Edmund finds himself rethinking his values and confronting the past. His conversations with Laura bring new perspectives, but also stir up emotions he thought he had long buried. A voyage that was meant to be a distraction becomes an opportunity for self-discovery, as Edmund grapples with the complexities of love and loss. In this poignant tale, Vita Sackville-West explores the human experience through the eyes of a man facing his own mortality.
