A haunting mystical reading experience, suffused with history, art, and recovery from trauma. An inspired travelogue ... The damaged genius of Van Gogh brooding over the narrative, with hints of both joy and anguish.' - Chris Ringrose

In poetic vignettes set against the fascinating exotics of Australia and France, Chandani Lokugé weaves a haunting and meditative story on the spectral gains and losses of travel, the nature of its transience. Through it, she dignifies with grace and tenderness, our unassuageable yearning, when we have lost everything and even ourselves, to anchor to something, someone, somewhere, and the unexpected moment of our arrival.
