From Amazon review: The White Ship is the story of an intelligent, imaginative Kyrgyz boy left by his separated parents in the care of his principled grandfather.

A recurrent fantasy of the boy is that he will join his father on a white ship which he can occasionally see on the distant Lake Ysyk-Kol.
