A Short Walk Through A Wide World by Douglas Westerbeke
A young woman in 19th-century Paris is struck by a mysterious affliction that forces her to keep moving—if she lingers, disaster follows—propelling her into a lifetime of restless travel across continents and decades. Along the way she forges fleeting but profound connections, chronicles the marvels and sorrows of the places she passes through, and seeks the source of her condition and a way to end it. The result is a sweeping, bittersweet exploration of wanderlust, solitude, and the fragile beauty of human ties.
