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.
