Jules and his two siblings grow up in a sheltered environment until their parents die in an accident. As adults, they believe they have overcome this tragedy. But then the past catches up with them.

A moving novel about overcoming loss and loneliness, and about what remains unchanged within a person. And above all: a great love story.

About the author:
Benedict Wells was born in Munich in 1984. After graduating from high school, he moved to Berlin and decided against university studies in order to pursue writing. He supported himself with various odd jobs. His fourth novel, "The End of Loneliness," remained on the bestseller list for over a year and a half and was awarded, among other accolades, the 2016 European Union Prize for Literature (EUPL). Benedict Wells' books have been published in 40 languages, and his latest novel, "Hard Land," won the German Youth Literature Prize in the Youth Jury category in 2022. After years in Barcelona, ​​Benedict Wells now lives in Zurich.

An absolute all-time favorite novel. It tells a touching story about loss, family, and the quiet ways to find your way back to life. Benedict Wells writes with such warmth, depth, and clarity that you feel every character – and won't forget them for a long time. This book goes straight to the heart without being sentimental, and for us, it's one of those rare novels that truly stays with you. You can read it at any stage of life, but it particularly resonates with those who have recently experienced loss – in whatever form.
