In 1940, Marseille becomes a gateway to freedom. Thousands of people flee from German fascism and struggle to obtain visas and certificates to leave the continent. Their paths cross in a frantic race from office to office, where lives intertwine with hopes, passions, and desires. The narrator remembers a painful love for a woman who was looking for the traces of her dead husband.
This moving novel by Anna Seghers transports us to a period of uncertainty and despair, where the search for freedom becomes the driving force of existence.
