Michael Parker is dying. He has had a good life and done well for himself. He reminisces on a wonderful love affair he had in the summer of 1965. One day after a passionate affair, she left, never to be heard of again. Her flatmates said she was pregnant, but Michael did not believe that at the time.

An ordinary man living an ordinary life until he loses it all, or so he thinks. George Morton has lost everything. His wife, Aimee, was killed by a drunk driver. Deciding there is nothing left for him in England, George buys an old farmhouse in Spain. He meets the attractive Maria, and her not so agreeable papa, Vincente.

This is a story of life in a large lake and of Morris the Mirror Carp who is now old, and happy to live out the rest of his days grazing on the gravel lake-bed, looking for cheese. His peace is disturbed when Queen Thea, a Tench, asks him to search the lake and find out what is happening to the fish, as the population is getting smaller.
