One Boat is artfully constructed, offering an absorbing narrative that explores complex themes of identity, free will, guilt, and responsibility. Buckley's insightful storytelling invites readers to reflect on the intricacies of familial bonds and the weight of past decisions.

As Teresa navigates her feelings of loss and nostalgia, the picturesque backdrop of the Greek coast serves as both a refuge and a reminder of her struggles. This novel is a compelling exploration of how our past shapes our present and the choices we make in the face of grief.
