Water is a liar.If you tell a story with water it cannot be trusted and it will wash away in the first hard rain or in the tears of a long good cry. And stories told in blood and stone stick longer by far.Finbar Tanner is telling a story to his son, Isaac.It is a story of love, desire and sacrifice.It is a story of blood and water and stones.It is a story of the deeper currents that flow within a man's heart.It is a story of the sea.
