Description
A new novel by acclaimed author Peter Stamm explores mortality, estrangement, and the absurdity of life. Andreas embarks on a journey to find a woman he once loved, leaving behind his old life in Paris. As he travels back to his hometown in Switzerland, Andreas is consumed by longing for what might have been if things had happened differently. His unobtrusive observational style allows him to navigate the crises of living in an empty world and the realization that life is finite. With Stamm's distinctive prose, this novel offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience, one that is both sensitive and unnerving.
