This novel shows the indecision and unpredictable side of youth compared to the wisdom of maturity. Set in Asia in Victorian times, it is the story of a young sailor who is unsure of what he wants to do with his life. He is offered the job of captain on a sailing ship, a great responsibility, which takes him on a journey full of problems and life-or-death decisions. He crosses the “shadow line”, the boundary between youth and maturity, and realises that it is not age that makes us more mature, but life experiences.
