"From 1967 onwards, the author and her family have travelled to Laos to trace their relatives still living there. The search revealed this complex and fantastic story. The author's Norwegian grandfather, Peter Hauff, left a long account of his experiences as a trader in Indo-China from 1890 to 1928 with a number of hitherto unknown photographs of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Nowhere did he mention the Laotian mother of one of his daughters, and the Vietnamese mother of the other. [Peter Hauff] eventually settled in France and died there in 1951, never having seen again his Sao Boun Ma whom he described in a note shortly before his death as the honest and faithful.
