Synopsis

A tale of a secret social order and the people who challenge it, set on a windswept Cornish coast.

In this novel, an intimate observer enters a fringe movement built by deserters who seek a new kind of society. Led by a charismatic yet enigmatic figure, the group aims to reform life by removing politics and money from daily needs, while insisting the community must still work for each member’s value. As a narrator, the speaker learns the origin of the association and watches its reach into personal loyalties, love, and family expectations. Against rolling sea cliffs and a quiet, sunlit landscape, complex motives unfold around Morrison, the German Jewish founder, and Conrad Lowe, a wandering youth whose presence unsettles those around him. The collision between the reformers’ ideals and the Kenwyn-Browns’ reform spirit raises questions about belonging, influence, and the price of a new social order.
