Nikoli náhodou dává autor svým židovským dějinám titul Putování. Líčí příběh menšinového národa, který je stále na cestě. Nesplývá s ostatními kulturami a bývá všude jen hostem, více či méně vítaným a dříve či později perzekvovaným a vyháněným. Nejprve nás provádí civilizacemi jeho starozákonních sousedů, jejichž dny slávy dávno pohasly, a poté sleduje židovskou pouť světem antiky, křesťanství a islámu.

Autobiografisch verslag van een Italiaanse vrouw die in 1970 op een grote boerderij in de Keniaanse hooglanden gaat wonen, over de tegenslagen in haar leven en haar liefde voor de Afrikaanse natuur.

In the weeks to come, they will learn one another's terrible secrets, and the astonishing truth about the life they might have shared....Once again, Marilyn French has written an extraordinary novel of our times--a novel of family love and resentment, of sisterhood and fatherhood, of acceptance and rejection and the search for peace."SHOULD STRIKE A CHORD WITH EVERY WOMAN who is willing to think honestly about the place of femaleness in the world."--Chicago Tribune
