About this listen

May, 1910. The village of Oystertown is home to those who make their living from the sea. Yet social circles soon extend beyond the harbour, when a boating disaster brings Janna Shilling and her family into contact with the aristocratic Layards who own a mansion just outside of town. Recently arrived in town are the Picards, who lead a bohemian existence, their family home a disused windmill. An artist, Pascal has settled in the small fishing village because of its extraordinary light. Meanwhile, his children Marietta and Daniel become friendly with the Shilling and Layard families, and love soon blossoms in the most unlikely of places.

When news of the king's death sends shockwaves through the country, each of these families will bravely face the turning tides of history. As powerful forces in Europe lurch towards a war, their lives will be changed forever...
