Zwanzig Jahre sind vergangen: Als sich Stefan und Theresa zufällig in Hamburg über den Weg laufen, endet ihr erstes Wiedersehen in einem Desaster. Zu Studienzeiten waren sie wie eine Familie füreinander, heute sind kaum noch Gemeinsamkeiten übrig. Stefan hat Karriere bei Deutschlands größter Wochenzeitung BOTE gemacht, Theresa den Bauernhof ihres Vaters in Brandenburg übernommen. Aus den unterschiedlichen Lebensentwürfen sind gegensätzliche Haltungen geworden. Stefan versucht bei seiner Zeitung, durch engagierte journalistische Projekte den Klimawandel zu bekämpfen.

Story127
Shortlisted for the 2011 Costa First Novel Award. Winner of the Authors' Club Best First Novel Award. Forty years in the future. The once-great city of Bohane on the west coast of Ireland is on its knees, infested by vice and split along tribal lines. There are the posh parts of town, but it is in the slums and backstreets of Smoketown, the tower blocks of the Northside Rises and the eerie bogs of Big Nothin' that the city really lives.

Tenía ocho años cuando mi abuelo me tomó de la mano y no la soltó hasta que encontramos a mis padres en Atenas. Era 1946. Principios de la primavera de 1946. Los almendros florecían uno al lado del otro y el campo estaba en su esplendor. Así empieza la novela más autobiográfica de Theodor Kallifatides y una de las más apreciadas por sus cientos de miles de lectores. Con su característica sencillez y humanidad, nos narra su vida desde que abandona su pueblo natal hasta que retorna a él para recibir el homenaje de sus vecinos convertido ya en un escritor consagrado.
