The acclaimed author of A Whole Life and The Tobacconist, the bestselling and Booker International-shortlisted Robert Seethaler tells the story of a town through the voices from its graveyard: a moving story about life and death and human connection.
The whole thing is so wonderfully crafted . . . that you literally don't want to stop reading, that you're sad to come to the end . . . What he has mastered like few other authors in German literary history is to give all his characters a profound dignity.
