What happens in Albatross from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
The story follows a rebellious teenage dropout, Emelia Conan Doyle, who firmly believes she is a descendant of the famous author and books a job as a cleaner at a seaside hotel run by Jonathan Fischer, a German writer plagued by writer’s block since the splash of his debut novel, The Cliff House, twenty-one years earlier. Jonathan lives in the hotel with his wife Joa and their two daughters, Beth, a 17-year-old on the cusp of medical school, and Posy, only six. The household is tense: Jonathan spends long hours holed up in the attic chasing ideas that stubbornly refuse to take shape, while Joa keeps the hotel running and tries to manage a frayed marriage, frustrated by Jonathan’s lack of recent success and his distant parenting.
