Marie lost her husband, a policeman shot on duty, in French Guiana. Against all odds and her son's disapproval, Marie decides to go there, hoping to find some answers to what happened and maybe put an end to her mourning.
For Alex, French Guiana is a haven. Far from his wife who escaped to France, he enjoys his ‘single' life, knowing he'll sooner or later have to decide what to do with his marriage. But willpower and determination have never been his forte.
Discovering a land full of opportunities behind the clichés of violence, ‘the widow' and ‘the wannabe single' take small cautious steps and will soon be able to see the world in a completely new way.
- This beautiful feel-good and escapist novel is also about destiny, unexpected meetings, resilience and new beginnings.
