Osudy hrdinov sú zasadené do súčasného New Yorku, každý z rozprávačov má pritom vlastný štýl, vlastný príbeh, no pomaly sa začnú prepletať navzájom, tak ako aj so záhadným rukopisom knihy s rovnakým názvom. Leo Gursky je starý imigrant vracajúci sa v spomienkach do rodného Poľska, ktorý tajne sleduje život svojho znovu-nájdeného syna. Alma Singer, mladučké dievča, sa musí vyrovnať so smrťou svojho otca a pátra po žene, po ktorej dostala meno – hlavnej hrdinke záhadného románu...
