«Do you always travel alone?», the narrator asks two women in Cuba. This book tells stories of women traveling alone and travelers traveling the world for various reasons. A scientist in Karachi, a young Senegalese woman in a boat, a man looking for paradise. But the nostalgia for lost paradise is an invention of the civilization they are fleeing. Along the way, they will find misery, violence, and the realization that the dreamed-of place is not enough to transform their lives. A unique look that reveals the violence present in all human relationships.
