Description
The brilliant, haunting new novel from the author of the award-winning Mister Pip.
A quiet, mysterious, unnamed woman has come from Africa on an impassioned quest. From the shoreline of Tunisia to the confusion of Berlin, she relies on strangers—some generous, some exploitive—to guide her passage, encountering love and betrayal in its many guises along the way.
When the truth behind this spellbinding story is finally revealed, we are forced to revisit everything that has gone before.
