ABOUT
THE BOOK

Isabelle tries to find an anchor in this storm by telling her mother’s story and by seeking solace in her writing tutor, as many years ago her mother sought solace with the travel writer after the death of her own mother, Mathilde.
Seeking to understand her mother’s past choices in war-torn Malacca in light of her own persistent desire for love, Isabelle spins a version of Ghislaine’s passion for the travel writer, a man who would alter Ghislaine’s life – and that of Isabelle – completely.
