More about the book

Set aboard a rolling liner in the North Atlantic, the story unfolds through a conversation among passengers discussing a troublesome boy named Cheyne. While some view him as a nuisance, others express sympathy for his troubled upbringing, having been shuffled from hotel to hotel. The narrative hints at themes of class and the challenges of youth, as Cheyne's mother is depicted as loving yet unable to control her son. The contrasting perspectives of the characters reveal societal attitudes toward privilege and the complexities of personal development.
