This book contains three short surreal stories about two people joined in a strained relationship traveling though life together while moving emotionally apart. In story one the couple is traveling on the water in a leaky raft. In story two, they are in a noisy train car. And in story three they are hiking on a muddy path. Through it all they are together. Each story is accompanied by an intaglio print. The thin mulberry paper gives the book a very soft and delicate feel although it is actually very strong and durable, a contrast which relates to the theme of the book.
