The seal-hunters island that Gailit writes about could be Kihnu. Or maybe Ruhnu. But in reality - ethnographically and historically – it is not the case. Serene Sea is fiction, based on the writer’s imagination and knowledge of people. It is mostly the people – seal-hunters, the pastor, women and children in this novel of love and sea are those whom the writer has closely watched. With great insight he describes the characters’ ideals in life, their attitude towards traditions and even love. Gailit creates a gallery of finely depicted characters, and we realise once again – there is no such thing as one truth.
