Eine unglaublich berührende Geschichte über Trauer, Tod und das Wiederfinden der eigenen Stärke.  
Paula und Helmut sind sehr verschieden und doch geben sie sich gegenseitig Halt in ihrer Trauer. Bei einer Reise in Helmuts Vergangenheit begleitet Paula ihn an seinen letzten Tagen und findet dabei wieder zu sich selbst.

screaming, crying, throwing up. 

(Is it the peak of literature? No. Is it a heartfelt book that portrays emotions in a really raw way and made me bawl my eyes out? Very much so.)

(German version specifics below)
I liked the take on grief in this road novel. Interesting characters and funny situations despite the topics of love, loss, responsibility, grief, acceptance.

The focus starts with the first person narrator and her dead brother, and over the course of the journey/book, it shifts to the old widower she meets.

The age difference between the two main characters really works well, it’s lovely to see how the two of them connect and help each other.

German:
Das deutsche Hörbuch ist toll! Maximiliane Häcke gelingt es, den unterschiedlichen Charakteren ihren ganz eigenen, individuellen Tonfall zu geben, ohne dass es albern wird.
