Caspar Ballantyne's unruffled life as an aesthetics professor in Vancouver is abruptly shattered by the tragic early loss of his wife. The book follows the repercussions of this event as he deals with grief and the surprising flowering of a new love. Caspar's professional life also undergoes upheaval as censorship from abroad threatens to stop his PhD student's thesis from proceeding. On the death of his cousin, Caspar inherits a sheep farm in Northumberland, and is faced with another dilemma: should he move to the farm where Cynthia awaits, or stay in Vancouver with the beautiful Neha? The reader is swept along as Caspar's drama unfolds, but is also charmed by sharp, precise, and often funny comments on nature, academic life, philosophy, and photography.
