Beschreibung

A richly imaginative novel of love loss time and the rise and fall of a great maritime empire that sends two thwarted lovers spiralling through the chaos of history.

The story begins in 1429 on Madeira when a peasant girl meets a boy- a Jewish outsider- from a Portuguese sailing ship. Esperan a and Emmanuel know they must part when the ship sails. From that first meeting and parting others follow...

Emmanuel is in turn sailor mapmaker bookseller jazz musician; Esperan a an illiterate peasant a rich girl in Faro and a clever bookish recluse who confronts a murderer in nineteenth-century Lisbon. In twentieth-century London Esperan a is faced with a double incarnation one of the true Emmanuel and the other a shadow. Over the centuries the couple face peril and tenderness. Each life is short. What survives is love.
