In Lost Paradise, Nooteboom sets out to connect two seemingly unrelated strangers whom he has glimpsed on his travels, also to explore the major impact that small interactions can have on the course of our journeys. A beautiful woman aboard a Berlin-bound flight becomes Alma, a young lady who leaves her parents' Sao Paolo home on a hot summer night in a fit of depression. Her car engine dies in one of the city's most dangerous favelas, a mob surrounds her, and she is pulled from the automobile. To escape her memory of the assault, she flees around the world, to Australia, where she becomes mixed up in beautiful but bizarre Angel Project. Not long after, Dutch literary critic Erik Zontag is within Perth, Australia, for a conference. He has found a winged woman curled up in a closet within an empty house. He reaches out, and for another allows his fingertips to brush her feathers - and then she speaks. The intersection of the paths illuminates the extraordinary coincidences that propel our lives.
