"After her husband's sudden death, Ginny Gillespie travels with
his ashes to Paris, where she meets and falls in love with Roland
Keppi, a strange, visionary man without a country. Their dreamlike
affair is disrupted when Roland vanishes, deported to a German camp
for people without identity papers. But coincidences, dreams, and
visions eventually reunite them with the promise of a bright
future. Set primarily in France between the world wars, the
narrative moves easily between the present and the past and among
Ginny, Roland, and the important people in their lives. These
intertwining stories raise questions of fate and the meaning of
family, identity, and happiness."--Library Journal
