About the book: 1997 / Is it possible to make a husband love his own wife if he has never seen her face and never touched her? If you entered into a legal marriage, only fulfilling a promise made at the bedside of a dying friend? It would seem an unpromising occupation. But if the husband is a tireless traveler, isn’t it worth the risk of succumbing to the call of his heart and following him?
