More than a century after her mysterious disappearance, he pursues Adele on her doomed and reckless journey of unrequited love. But as he follows Adele's footsteps around the world, from Normandy to the Caribbean, he is forced to confront all the ways in which her fate parallels his own. A TLS BOOK OF THE YEARFIVES STARS DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A compelling experiment in biography-cum-memoir' TLS 'An unforgettable journey' Ferdinand Mount 'Mark Bostridge's innovative biography... of haunting beauty and stylistic grace' Daily Telegraph 'Utterly immersive' The Oldie
