Disguised as a passenger, a homeless woman lives in Paris's Roissy
airport until she meets a man who makes her confront her past.
Every day the narrator of this gripping novel hurries from one
terminal to another in Charles de Gaulle Roissy airport, Paris,
pulling her suitcase behind her, talking to people she meets-but
she never boards an airplane. She becomes an "unnoticeable," a
homeless woman disguised as a passenger, protected by her
anonymity. When a man who comes to the airport every day to await
the Rio-to-Paris flight-the same route on which a plane crashed
into the sea a few years earlier-attempts to approach her, she
flees, terrified. But eventually, she accepts his kindness and
understands his loss, and she gives in to the grief they share,
forming a bond with him that becomes more than friendship. A
magnificent portrait of a woman who rediscovers herself through a
chance connection, Roissy is a powerful, polyphonic book, a glimpse
at the infinite capacity of the human spirit to be reborn.
