The Boatman

Do you ever dream of a life extraordinary? Born on an isolated island surrounded by a vast sea, Isla spends her childhood staring out to the horizon and dreaming of adventure. Only her best friend Tomas, son of the lighthouse keeper, understands Isla's longing to find the Greater Meaning of her life. When a mysterious boatman arrives on the island, Isla's young heart is swept up in the unmistakable tides of destiny, and at the threshold of adulthood, Isla at last crosses the great sea in search of adventure and purpose on the mainland. The Boatman is a bridge between worlds - a powerful mainland where 'More is Better, New is Best', and a small island which recognises the power of having 'Enough'. It is the story of the winding path of Isla's destiny, which ultimately forces her to make a choice between the island and the mainland, and between the man that has come to define her mainland life, and Tomas, the island boy she left behind. It is the story of all those who have dreamed of taking that other path and searching for the deeper meaning of their lives. Where will The Boatman take you?
