A dazzlingly epic debut that charts the incredible, adventurous life of
one woman as she journeys the globe trying to outrun a mysterious curse
that will destroy her if she stops moving.
Paris, 1885: Aubry Tourvel, a spoiled and stubborn nine-year-old girl,
comes across a wooden puzzle ball on her walk home from school. She
tosses it over the fence, only to find it in her backpack that evening.
Days later, at the family dinner table, she starts to bleed to death.
When medical treatment only makes her worse, she flees to the outskirts
of the city, where she realizes that it is this very act of movement
that keeps her alive. So begins her lifelong journey on the run from
her condition, which won’t allow her to stay anywhere for longer than a
few days—nor return to a place where she’s already been.
From the scorched dunes of the Calashino Sand Sea to the snow-packed
peaks of the Himalayas; from a bottomless well in a Parisian courtyard,
to the shelves of an infinite underground library, we follow Aubry as
she learns what it takes to survive and ultimately, to truly live. But
the longer Aubry wanders and the more desperate she is to share her
life with others, the clearer it becomes that the world she travels
through may not be quite the same as everyone else’s...
Fiercely independent and hopeful, yet full of longing, Aubry Tourvel is
an unforgettable character fighting her way through a world of wonders
to find a place she can call home. A spellbinding and inspiring story
about discovering meaning in a life that seems otherwise impossible, A
Short Walk Through a Wide World reminds us that it’s not the
destination, but rather the journey—no matter how long it lasts—that
makes us who we are.
