Cecilia Fitzpatricková, matka troch detí, objaví v podkroví starú obálku. Je sivá, zaprášená a rukopis na nej pozná ako vlastný. Patrí manželovi. Modrým perom tam stojí: Otvoriť iba v prípade mojej smrti. Je to vari žart? Jej muž nezomrel, Cecilia preto dlho váha, no napokon obálku otvorí. A čas akoby zastal. John-Paul sa v liste priznáva k osudovej chybe, ktorá by mohla viesť k rozpadu rodiny. List napísal tesne po narodení ich dcérky, kým boli obe v pôrodnici. Cecilia chce urobiť, čo je správne, ale pre koho by to bolo správne? Ak bude mlčať a chrániť svoju rodinu, pravda jej rozožerie srdce ako červ. Ale ak odhalí manželovo tajomstvo, ublíži tým, ktorých má najradšej...

I've planted my feet on Fijian earth and I intend to stay here until the last sunset . Why don't you join me? Leave behind everything that didn't work out! When recently-widowed Kat writes to her four old school friends, inviting them to live with her on a cocoa plantation in the South Pacific, they swap icy pavements and TV dinners for a tropical breeze and an azure-blue ocean. Leaving behind loneliness, dead-end jobs and marriages that have gone sour, they settle into the Women's House, surrounded by palms and cocoa trees; and locals with the puzzling habit of exploding into laughter for no discernible reason. Each of the women has her issues to resolve, and secrets to keep. But together the friends find a new purpose, starting a business making chocolate: bittersweet, succulent pieces of happiness. As they embrace a new culture that views ageing so differently from their own, will they learn to accept and forgive: to discover the value of friendship, and a better way to live?

In 1996 ontmoetten Audrey Mestre en Pipín Ferreras elkaar. Zij was een jonge, beeldschone, Franse biologe, hij was toen wereldkampioen No Limits Freediving - een extreme sport waarbij zonder perslucht diepterecords gebroken worden. Ze kregen een gepassioneerde relatie. Ook Audrey werd freediver, en ze brak al snel het wereldrecord voor vrouwen (115 meter). Pipín en Audrey stimuleerden elkaar om tot het uiterste te gaan, maar dat leidde tot een tragedie: Audrey verongelukte voor de Dominicaanse kust toen ze Pipíns record (170 meter) probeerde te breken. In De duik doet Pipín zijn verhaal. Het is een eerbetoon aan zijn grote liefde én een verdediging van zijn sport. Een uniek boek met prachtige beelden, over gedreven mensen en extreme diepten van liefde en obsessie.
