Synopsis
How far would you go for the one you love the most?
When Louise Fenton flies to Thailand to find her mother, Nora, after the Boxing Day tsunami, she fears the worst when the only trace she can find is her mother’s distinctive bag. In the bag is a beautifully crafted atlas owned by travel journalist Claire Shreve, with her notes and mementos slipped in-between the pages. The journal tells the story of Claire’s struggle to find her place in the world following a life-altering revelation, and a tumultuous love affair.
Louise treks across Thailand's scarred landscape, exploring Claire’s atlas to try to make sense of the connection between this woman and the mother she is so desperate to find.
As devastated people are beginning to put their lives back together, Louise uncovers the secrets that nearly destroyed Claire and the man she loved – the same secrets her mother has been guarding all these years …

Des années après l'achat de ce livre, je l'ai enfin lu, et quelle lecture ! J'ai adoré ce roman à deux voix et aux deux histoires qui finissent par se mêler l'une à l'autre. Louise et Claire sont deux personnages aussi intéressants qu'attachants. Le récit est comme une enquête poignante sur le destin de deux femmes qui ont dû subir de terribles épreuves et qui ont fini par se trouver.
