Tim Winton’s modern love story about people stifled by grief or regret, whose dreams are lost, and whose hopes have all but dried up.
Tim Winton depicts a desperate man’s odyssey across Europe in search of the missing wife he now realises he barely knew.
After Scully has a ghostly vision of twenty horsemen, his wife, Jennifer, suddenly and mysteriously vanishes. Scully’s seven-year-old daughter, Billy, may have witnessed Jennifer’s disappearance, but has been rendered mute by the ordeal. Clues lead Scully and his daughter on a quest that covers Greece, Italy, Paris, and Amsterdam, as he slowly accepts his failure along with the idea that some things will never be known.
