A woman puts her mouth to the keyhole of a bathroom door and starts to tell everything to the one waiting inside: her story and theirs, the explanation he is waiting for, though she does not know whether it will be enough to make him come out. At the centre is the love between Berg and the blind David, who sees her more clearly than she sees herself. Where she has put a lid on painful memories, he sees the little girl who went to the fairground and followed the carousel man into his caravan, and the woman she is now, one who has hidden away with a blind man so she need not look at herself. The book is both a classic love story and a modern novel of self-knowledge.
