1865, the year of the great cholera epidemic. Skew's only son is on one of the ships, the "sporca," that are quarantined on the small island of Tsugria, opposite Skiathos.
To see and take care of her sick child, Skew successfully manages to get hired as a "watchman" on the ships, dressed as a man, to achieve her goal.
With this story at its center, Papadiamantis manages to provide us with a rich tableau of characters, contrasts, and episodes.
