Blanche vient de perdre son mari, Pierre, son autre elle-même. Un jour, elle rencontre Jules, un vieil homme amoureux des fleurs...
"So, without any further exchange of words, our eyes meet and begin to sparkle, to twinkle with such an intensity that the mere mention of that moment still deeply upsets me.
How to define the light that passes between two eyes when the two "fighters" understand, at the same time, a sentence with such a double meaning?
I feel very much at that very moment, that a stream of strong sympathy just passed, like a flash, between Chrystel and me.
In any case, I am intimately convinced of it".
On a trip to Sri-Lanka, the narrator falls in love with a woman. She's Chrystel: mysterious, elusive, evanescent, unfathomable, he tries, discreetly, step by step, to get close to her. Travelogue doubled with a sweet, tender love story, "Ciccinina One" offers his reader - whatever it deals with Sri-Lankan horizons or the author's soul - an immersion in troubled waters.
