After his father dies, twelve-year-old Flip leaves Amsterdam for Mossum, a remote North Sea island, to live on taciturn Uncle Andries's farm. Flip claims a place when he rescues a stranded horse from the sea with the help of a new friend who refuses to speak. With its small-town intimacies and dependence on weather, 1966 Mossum makes for a dynamic and compelling environment.
