Published in 1939. Eight people were called to spend a holiday on
an island. The invitations were sent on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. U.N. Owen,
identified as old acquaintances with whom they had a brief encounter at some
time in the past. And now with the pretext of a job offer or participation in
a business they are drawn to the island to spend a few summer days.
The letters of invitation allude to the occasion that the alleged
interview with Mr. and Mrs. U.N. Owen took place, although none of the
addressees had a very clear memory of the event, the details described in the missive on the other hand leave no doubt that they actually met up once in the past.
