James Ashleigh
went to sea after leaving school and began to live what turned out to be, for
him, the ideal life. Plenty of money, plenty of women and drink and visiting
places only read about in books. The ideal life for somebody in their mid
twenties with nothing to hold them in one place. Then one day at a party on one
of ship on which he was an officer, in port in Finland, he meets Maria and
life's complications start. After several voyages from London to Helsinki when
he stayed in her flat making love and to concerts, he asks Maria to marry him but
he is devastated when she refuses. Though she says she loves him and still
wants him to come to her flat, it
is his Englishness which prevents her from saying yes. She will not marry him
if this means leaving Finland. Though angry and bewildered, James lets their
relationship drift on.
This is the story of one man’s descent into depression after tragedy strikes, his anger at other people trying to help and his redemption in the arms of somebody who admired the dedication of other people who try to help. It explores the question of whether a person can really be saved after a devastating loss especially of somebody that person loves deeply? Does not their world and the will to live end?
