"A fantastical novel which reworks Shakespeare's 'Pericles' into a parable for today."
; Maja, the pregnant wife of wealthy Philippe, is killed in a plane crash but their
daughter Angelica survives. Philippe's obsession with the girl's safety morphs into
something sinister and grotesque as she grows into a beautiful teen. Darius, a con-artist
visiting Philippe with a business proposition, encounters Angelica and decides to
rescue her. The attempt goes awry, and he flees aboard a ship, The Porpoise. As Angelique
comes to terms with a life imprisoned on her father's estate, Darius's exploits create
parallels with the world Angelica inhabits. -- adapted from jacket
