Description
2022 PEN Translation Award FINALIST
In this masterful novel, author Juli Zeh skillfully shifts away from the conventional tale of a middle-aged, middle-class father out for a New Year's Day bike ride to an unexpectedly dark, psychological family drama.
Lanzarote on New Year's Day: Henning is cycling up the steep path to Femes. As he struggles against the wind and the gradient, he takes stock of his life. He has a job, a wife, two children—yet hardly recognises himself anymore. Panic attacks have been pouncing on him like demons.
When he finally reaches the pass in utter exhaustion, a mysterious coincidence unveils a repressed yet vivid memory, plunging him back into childhood and the traumatic event that almost cost him and his sister their lives. In this masterful novel, bestselling author Juli Zeh skillfully turns a New Year's Day bike ride into an unexpectedly dark, psychological family drama.
