An unhappy American couple travel deeper into the Sahara trying to save a marriage that is already dead, and when illness kills the husband, the wife drifts on alone into a desert caravan and disappears from herself entirely.

How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.
The Sheltering Sky, Paul Bowles
