Arpino’s romantic ode to Ondine—a young man on the beach is enamored with a shadow from the sea in the guise of a beautiful creature.

“Mr. Arpino unfolds his neo-romantic tale of love between a mortal and a supernatural with contemporary naturalness.”

—Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times

“The ocean wove a spell…”

—Jack Anderson, New York Times
