A narrator with a sailor’s appetite for odd characters finds himself drawn into the household of a fellow Englishman living abroad, and into the long tale the man begins to tell of his marriage, his children and his failures. McFee, a working ship’s engineer, prefaces the book with an entertaining account of why he rewrote it from its first 1914 version.
