Publisher's Synopsis
Following the death of her husband, a literary biographer decides to pick through her husband's archives in search of clues about a journey he made years before they met, a hitchhike through France that he suddenly tried to tell her about in the last hours of his life. In doing so, Katrin uncovers a life she knew nothing of, and an expedition that exceeded anything her previous subjects ever undertook, ultimately delivering her into a new and more complete understanding of the man she loved.
