Summary
1943. George Russell, a British RAF pilot, is shot down over occupied Netherlands. Wounded and exhausted, he ends up in a hidden cottage among the dunes belonging to Max Verstappen – a lonely fisherman who lost his entire family and his faith in humanity during the bombing of Rotterdam. Risking his life, Max decides to help an enemy of the occupier. Between two completely different worlds, in a silence broken only by the sound of the sea, a feeling stronger than the turmoil of war begins to blossom.
2001. Lando Norris, a young BBC journalist, travels to the seaside village of Egmond aan Zee in the Netherlands. He is there to prepare a report on an extraordinary event – the wedding of two elderly men whose love has survived half a century of silence.
A story of survival, of memory enchanted in a pilot's cream-colored scarf, and of a love that knows no boundaries of time, nationality, or gender.

Summary
“U-S-of-A,’ George says drily. “Paired with Oxford, couple of other governments, you know how it is. They want us to go down there.”
Oscar lowers the files. Stares at George, who just stares back. “Down there?”
“Look, I voted against telling you. But Alex seems to think it would be mean to leave you out of research you worked on. I know you don’t share that sentiment, Piastri."
Or: There's a black hole in the centre of the Earth. Oscar Piastri is a Nobel-decorated physicist, with nothing to show for it but an addiction to cigarettes and a ring without a finger to put it on. These two things have more in common than one might think.
