Summary

 A fairly enigmatic alpinist harbours in Austrian small town. Sincere yet mystical, he felt lost until met Chloe. That's date stunned him like a sun flash. It's breathtaking watching him off the beaten track, stepping mountain cliff where he just dials Chloe phone number. Whether he has enough strength to get out of the soul trap? A fascinating novella, a pounding plot accompanying by advancing slightly cynical dialogues at the expense of the author's sophisticated mastery.

While clearing his belongings, her Aunt Chrissie reveals a long-hidden secret: Rachel was adopted as a baby during the Second World War. Shocked and betrayed, Rachel cannot understand why the truth was kept from her. Though her mother and husband, Martin, urge her to move on, Rachel is haunted by questions about her birth mother.
