Overview
Longlisted for The Booker Prize 2025
"Buckley creates a novel of quiet brilliance and sly humour, packed with mystery and indeterminacy."--The Booker Prize judges
After losing her father, Teresa returns to a small town on the Greek coast--the same place she visited when grieving her mother nine years ago. Soon, she encounters some of the people she met last time around: John, a man struggling to come to terms with the violent death of his nephew, Petros, an eccentric mechanic; Niko, a handsome diving instructor; and Xanthe, a waitress in one of the caf s on the leafy town square. They talk about their longings, regrets, the passing of time, and their sense of who they are. Artfully constructed, absorbing, and insightful, One Boat is a brilliant novel grappling with questions of identity, free will, guilt, and responsibility.
