Where Are You?

Susan and Philip loved each other since childhood and believed they would always be together. But their ideas of happiness gradually diverged—he, an advertising artist with a studio in Manhattan, dreamed of a calm, steady life as a couple; she, an tireless volunteer, hurried to distant places to rescue victims of natural disasters. Ahead were long years of separation, hopes, and doubt-tossing—staying in touch would only be possible through letters and brief meetings in the bar of an airport, whenever the chance arose.

From the whirlwind of life events that swirls through the pages of their novel to the real, powerful hurricane that in its own way will manage their fates—this touching and gripping story of a man and a woman is told by a recognized master of contemporary French prose.
