Hoping to understand what closeness and warmth mean in a life, and to keep death at bay through sheer effort, a writer resolves to pick a stranger from the crowd and describe her. The chosen one is Anna, expecting twins, met on a bright July day on the rue du Louvre. The book follows where this daring task leads, through detours and dead ends, and suggests that the dead never quite stop living.
