About the story:

First, a young man washes ashore, and then the whale beaches itself. The three hundred and seven residents of the fishing village of St. Piran immediately sense that something strange is beginning here. But no one suspects just how existentially their community is threatened. Just like the entire country. And perhaps the whole world. Because everything is connected.

John Ironmonger tells a gripping story about what holds us together as humanity. And he asks the important questions: Do we know enough about the interconnectedness of our globalized world? And how can we act responsibly when everything is at stake?
