The action of the new novel by the famous Swiss writer Peter Stamm takes place in France and Switzerland. Andreas, the main character of the book, returns from Paris to his native Swiss village to meet there with the love of his youth and find out whether the feeling that meant so much in his life was reciprocated or unrequited.

I am convinced that true beauty lies in the everyday. Originality is often superficial. I am not interested in colorful masks, but in the person who is hiding behind them. The fate of the so-called ordinary people is not at all trivial. If we look closely, we see the greatest tragedies in everyday life. Peter Stamm
