Description
In the year 1702, in Pernau, a town on the southwestern coast of Estonia by the sea, a carpenter named Tonis lives alone with his young wife and the solemn promise of a better life. Their home is modest, their love unshaken, and their hopes simple until a secret long buried begins to stir.
When death visits his household, Tonis is left to raise his son alone, clinging to faith and family memories. But peace is fragile, and kindness can become a man’s undoing. A new wife enters his home, a stranger with a smile that hides something darker.
Far away, another traveler begins a journey that will lead him to that same town to a door he was never meant to find, and to a boy whose life will change his own. Their meeting sets in motion a reckoning that no one can stop.
A Familiar Stranger is a tale of love, reconciliation and the unseen ties that bind lives across distance and time. Set on the edge of the Great Northern War, it explores how fate moves silently between the living and the lost, and how one stranger’s arrival can unearth what was meant to stay buried.
