About the book: 2020 / The island does not know how to love. He is just a dot on the map. Right now our home island, our home, is exploding and collapsing into the sea, descending to where it once rose. Perhaps his appearance was originally a mistake; perhaps the island is a child who was born by accident, grew too big, and now needs to be destroyed. Tristan da Cunha is one of the most remote places on Earth from the mainland. The islanders breathe the ocean and speak the same language as the rocks and birds. They know how to remain silent like no one else. And they know how to love like no one else. But there are also those among them who cannot sit still. People like Lars. He often leaves home, leaving his wife and son for a long time. One day, across the ocean, Lars meets a new love and decides not to return. Until the newspapers bring news that the volcano on his home island has awakened.
