 Valparaiso Nicolas Freeling After sailing and bumming round the Mediterranean for years, Raymond, a gifted drifter, has dropped anchor for over a year in Porquerolles, a lazy island off the Cote d'Azur. Natalie, a second-rank Parisian film star, comes to the island for a break. Soon she falls in love; less with Raymond than his ambition to cross the Atlantic single-handed in his beloved boat, the 'Olivia'. But the 'Olivia' needs refitting. Jo, Raymond's unscrupulous young protege, comes up with a seemingly cast-iron plan to raise money. And Raymond, blinded by obsession, unhinged by his affair with Natalie, falls in with it...
