Prais, 1806. The renowned botanist Michel Adanson is dying. His last word is a woman’s name: Maram. But who was she?

Searching for the answer, Adanson’s daughter discovers a journal of his youthful travels in Senegal, which tells a story of wild adventure and impossible desires.

And how a man who longed to solve the mysteries of natural instead found himself grappling with the impulses of the heart.
