The novel catches Anna W. at four moments of her life, at sixteen, twenty, thirty-three and forty-five, each in another time and place: Napoleon's island of exile, Saint Helena, and a village in Morocco early this century; a string of European cities, from Paris to Milan, in the 1970s; and western India, from Bombay to Diu, as the 1980s end. Those around her are exasperated by her: no shock, cruelty or tenderness seems able to ruffle her calm, and what happens behind her eyes stays a mystery that unsettles everyone.
