Louise has travelled with her father to the island every year since she can remember - it's the place her mother loved best of all.



The arrival of Hassan changes everything. Louise is restless and yearning for independence; meanwhile, the fiercely free and self-reliant Hassan seems to know the island from long ago as if it were his home from birth.



Hassan is an acrobat, maybe a sorcerer, possibly a source of great danger. The wild boys who call the island their home want to cast him out.



The forces of love, death and hope move Louise and Hassan together. The island will change their lives forever.
