Book description

Judith goes to Malaysia to report on an international refugee crisis. Through her encounters with Minou, French-Vietnamese wife of a diplomat, she is drawn into dangerous personal and political situations. It is on the coast, when turtles gather to breed, that the drama reaches its tragic climax.
