Wbrew temu, co zdaje się sugerować tytuł, nie jest to książka o jednym, ale o dwóch małżeństwach, których wzajemne relacje, zrazu niewinne i czysto przyjacielskie, przeradzają się z czasem w związek o znacznie intymniejszym i bardziej złożonym charakterze.

On the face of it, all we had to do was get from London to Mongolia. But looking deeper it was going to be a lot less simple than it had first appeared. We had minimal planning, bought a horribly underpowered car that was fit for scrap, had no external support, no prior expedition experience or survival knowledge and decided to do it all in the name of charity. We only allowed ourselves three weeks to complete the adventure. I hadn't even heard of half of the countries we were intending to cross and certainly didn't speak the languages but...
