And, if the tumor kills him, David won’t have a chance to see his baby granddaughter Louise grow up — Louise, who has just been born to David’s daughter Miriam, a former war photographer who no longer wants to immortalize anything except that which is beautiful.

And David will not be able to take his younger daughter Tamar to visit the lakes, as they have done every summer. Tamar is only 9 years old, and she has been constructing all sorts of plans that will permit her papa to return to the lakes – so that he won’t have to sail off on the final voyage all by himself…
