Pauline Asama

From year: 1707 The daughter of a trader who, predictably, fell in love with a foreign merchant. She and her beloved are lucky to see each other more than once a year, but the bonds between them are unbreakable. Though separated by the vast seas, their relationship lives on. And then, one fateful day, she receives heartbreaking news: the Merchant has been involved in a fatal shipwreck. Pauline, however, refuses to believe he is dead, so she sets off on a journey in search of him. "I have faith in him. He would never break a promise to me."
