It was here in Paris that the child was born, and it is here that she will die. In between the beginning and the end, she will embark on a long journey, or rather several. Ten, twenty, perhaps even as many as a hundred.
Garance lives in the Montparnasse district of Paris, where she wanders through the streets every day when she is not away travelling. For her, Paris is a refuge, an unsurpassable ideal which will always command her admiration, but she also feels the need to travel the world because of her... Garance lives in the Montparnasse district of Paris, where she wanders through the streets every day when she is not away travelling. For her, Paris is a refuge, an unsurpassable ideal which will always command her admiration, but she also feels the need to travel the world because of her dual identity - her father is Iranian and her mother French, and she is unable to find serenity in any one place. She meets Henri, who becomes her first love. but the end of their relationship leaves a sour taste in her mouth. How can one accept the gradual ebbing away of feelings and the final betrayal?

The years pass, Myriam is born, and Garance discovers the profound love of a mother for her child. Daniel appears in her life as she is enduring the most terrible of ordeals: the death of Myriam. Through her little girl, Garance learns how to love, and that will be her strength.
Amid romantic failures, betrayals, family ructions and the most terrible of losses, Garance pursues her quest. A life of fragments and ephemeral things, amid the undying memory of her daughter.
