Publisher's Synopsis

Sometimes a person passes through your world and you don't forget them.

She is like that.

She is crossing continents, searching for her missing child.

Everyone she comes into contact with has a tale to tell: the truck driver who mistook her for a prostitute, the hunters who almost shot her, the Frenchman who loved her, the blind man and the lodger.

This is her story.



Our Booksellers Say...

"I really liked 'Mr Pip' so I had high expectations for this one. I wasn't disappointed. Ines - not her real name - is a hotel maid / supervisor in Tunisia. She meets a man, thinks she has fallen in love, he gets her pregnant. She gives birth but he tricks her into signing adoption papers, kidnaps the baby and takes him back to Berlin. Ines must go find her baby."
