Over these twelve chapters, which are at times sensual, at times questioning, the author unveils twenty-five years of a shared
life which never fully reaches a sense of communion. Susanna and Marc are eternal lovers, always seeking one another, always fleeing one another.
Susanna and Marc maintain an on-off relationship, enjoying ever-intimate encounters. Seeking out such pleasures often
involves travel on Susanna's part. Over the years, the bond between them evolves, but it never weakens. While Susanna never ceases to
question the basis of the relationship, Marc throws himself into his entrepreneurial adventures with rare fervour. Where will this
illicit love lead them?
