Romania, 1940: a country in social and political turmoil, about to suffer catastrophic territorial losses as war engulfs Europe and its neighbours take the opportunity to settle old scores. People seem to be listless, apprehensive, or defiantly bellicose as they face an unknowable future; for many, there does not appear to be any path forward not involving further upheaval and change, culminating in an epoch of unprecedented terror and destruction.As tension mounts, the controversial academic Dr Adrian Lereanu makes the journey to the Black Sea resort of Balcic at the behest of an influential friend. Lereanu’s visit to Balcic is not intended as a holiday, although it is clear to him that going there is for his own good. Lereanu would not only prudently distance himself from certain people who might consider him partially responsible for the sense of malaise and disillusion sweeping over the nation; and he would also be able to help by undertaking an unusual task for his protector and potential patron. Balcic soon begins to cast its spell over Lereanu; but he finds little in its sunlit streets but mystery and obstruction. He makes slow progress with his mission until a chance encounter helps him to begin to assemble the diverse pieces of the puzzle he has unwittingly walked into. Lereanu’s discoveries and experiences in Balcic change him, possibly for all time; at the end there are all kinds of new borders to be crossed.Sixty years later Nathan Brook, an English photographer marooned in bereavement after the sudden death of his wife, travels to Romania to lose himself in new surroundings and in work.

Balchik slowly and inevitably becomes the setting in which Brook can participate in the healing of some old wounds and the resolution of his own unsettled grief and loss.
