The story of a young woman who leaves of to trace her missing mother. She wonders through three continents, collides cultur individuality and christian tradition with Islam and Hinduizm.
Some review fragments:
So this is how Jack Kerouac would write if he was a woman. Ula Ryciak’s new novel is an parable of erotic and mystic liberation, however, free from naive illusions to which hippies succumbed to years before. Traveling here means seeking and escaping, collecting impressions and existential experience. Ecstasy faces Shadow as love meets death, while a journey’s topography in essence is a souls map.
Mirosław Pęczak, POLITYKA
