Katja Nele Bode, BRIGITTE WOMAN
"Ewald Arenz has [...] once again succeeded in writing a wonderful book. Sensitively, he tells of great, wild feelings."
Andrea Gerk, NDR KULTUR
A Book About Love and the Courage to Let it Happen
From their first meeting, Clara and Elias know that they are meant for each other. This changes everything: Elias can no longer suppress the fact that he is stuck in a false life with his girlfriend. And Clara realisesthat it is time to give up her self-imposed solitude. But there is the age difference and her unresolved feelings of guilt following her husband's death. Elias, on the other hand, doesn't really know how to stand by anything in life, because as an actor he knows how to rescue himself from reality into the play again and again. The wild happiness of the first days is followed by the first test, and the two doubt and fight with and for each other. Can one, no longer quite young and laden with life experience, find and live love once again, or even for the first time? The answer is: Yes!
Is it possible to find love again –or for the first time –when you’re no longer young, and weighed down with heavy baggage?
