Description
A celebrated theatre director retreats to a remote seaside home, intending to write his memoirs and reflect on past loves. However, his carefully constructed solitude is shattered by a series of bizarre encounters and unexpected visitors, both real and spectral. As his plans unravel, he is forced to confront the tangled web of his own motivations and the profound impact of his past actions. This novel masterfully explores themes of love, forgiveness, vanity, and the elusive nature of truth, set against a richly imagined landscape.
