She immerses herself again in the life of the town, observing the inhabitants going about their business, a quiet backdrop for her reckoning with herself. An episode from her first visit resurfaces vividly â€“ her encounter with John, a man struggling to come to terms with the violent death of his nephew. Soon Teresa encounters some of the people she met last time around: Petros, an eccentric mechanic, whose life story may or may not be part of John's; the beautiful Niko, a diving instructor; and Xanthe, a waitress in one of the cafÃ©s on the leafy town square. They talk about their longings, regrets, the passing of time, their sense of who they are. Artfully constructed, absorbing and insightful,Â One BoatÂ is a brilliant novel grappling with questions of identity, free will, guilt and responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelf-Made.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063486345544,"sku":"9781804271766","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/1260\/5000\/files\/9781804271766_f55a77a8-6234-49a4-8da1-99a2a12c4bec.jpg?v=1764083002","url":"https:\/\/shelfmadebooks.com\/products\/9781804271766","provider":"Shelf-Made.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
