A gripping story about love, medicine and the struggle for life from the master of psychological novels Archibald Joseph Cronin
After a terrible professional failure, skeptical and callous doctor Harvey Leath, in a depressed state, goes to the deck of the ship "Halo", heading to the Canary Islands. On board, among eight passengers of very different characters and origins, Leath comes across the elegant and fragile Lady Mary Fielding - the wife of the rich Michael Fielding. Between such different, at first glance, people, dangerous feelings flare up, as if they had originated in a past life. But will these feelings be able to bloom when deadly yellow fever reigns on the horizon, among the alluring peaks and gardens with freesias.
