August 1942. A couple disappears while heading for mountain pastures some three thousand metres above their starting point. A crazy expedition for an inexperienced young woman, but she insisted because she wanted to see these landscapes, and her husband Joseph was very familiar with the terrain.

An unforgettable book based on a true story – one of those tales where the author’s imagination takes us beyond the silences, the blanks and the corrosive rumors to open up avenues of wonder for all curious readers.
