Description: "Un bateau de croisière remonte le Mékong, du Vietnam au Cambodge. Un matin, un homme et une femme découvrent que leurs conjoints se sont enfuis. Ensemble. Unis dans l'abandon, ils partagent leur trouble, leurs questions, passent de la surprise à la colère, du désespoir à la résignation. Peu à peu, leurs solitudes se répondent et de leur désarroi naît une complicité bouleversante." -- cover.
