After the Booker Prize-winning novel "Initiation of the Traveler," the thrilling coming-of-age journey of Edmund Talbot continues in the second book of the trilogy "To the Ends of the Earth."
Halfway through the journey to Australia, the ship carrying young Edmund is trapped by the tropical calm. The heat, the fog, and the stillness begin to fray the nerves of both crew and passengers, who are forced to coexist next to each other in the confined space of the ship. And at the same time, a thick mass of green seaweed tightly embraces the worn vessel…
Until, slowly emerging from the fog, another ship comes into view. As the two vessels side by side remain motionless in the vastness, it is decided to hold a joint dance. And for Edmund, the time has come to experience a lightning bolt of love in the form of the beautiful Miss Marion Thwaite…
Crew and passengers whirl to the rhythms of the waltz and cotillion in a dazzling celebration, as if they want to ward off the dark abyss that threatens to swallow them forever…
