At the start of the book, we are introduced to Joel Shore and the House of Shore, a family steeped in whaling tradition. The narrative begins with a history of their ancestral home, the legacy of Joel’s valiant brothers, and a sense of melancholia stemming from the loss of his brother Mark, who has gone missing at sea.
