François is a fisherman in a small village on a Caribbean island. In flash-back form, his story unfolds, with all the grief, abandonment, catastrophy and the small daily surprises. With coherence and poetry, Babbini’s writing paints a solid, resolute character. A solitary, obstinate man who is able to mould his destiny, in order to achieve a divine goal: giving love, charity and forgiveness.
