Summary
The day he knew he was going to die, our narrator's grandfather took his daughter-in-law to the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao, the de facto capital of the Basque region of northern Spain, to show her a painting with ties to their family. Years later, her son Kirmen traces those ties back through the decades, knotting together moments from early twentieth-century art history with the stories of his ancestors' fishing adventures and tragedies in the North Atlantic Ocean
