Tessa and Marius are teenage sweethearts who each marry someone else, she becoming a novelist and he a reporter, yet they cannot stay apart. For years they meet in secret, mostly behind the doors of nameless hotels. The novel runs backwards in time, so the reader meets an older Tessa first and ends with a girl still dreaming of her future lover.
