I’ve been on a run of sad books so I’m trying to diversify and find some light. I bought this from Hay on Wye a few months ago, knowing little more than it was translated from German and had an Okapi on the front and my god, it’s moved up to the top spots of my favourite books ever! If you want a multi generational, coming of age with a hint of magic realism that makes you feel like you are glowing… this is the one. Please read it and shout it from the rooftops to all your book loving friends 🥰
