      In a world devoid of wars, conflict, and climate change, life is stripped of modern distractions like the internet, cell phones, and processed food. People no longer compare themselves to strangers online or live through screens. Instead, they wake up, go to work, and spend long hours indoors, engaged in meaningless strategy meetings about hashtags. After work, they drown their dissatisfaction in expensive drinks, often leading to regrettable encounters. The cycle continues as they scroll through social media, feeling inadequate compared to others’ seemingly perfect lives. Then, an opportunity arises: Life on Nyx, a program offering 100 individuals the chance to leave Earth behind and start anew on another planet, free from the burdens of modern life. However, this escape comes with a significant caveat: once you leave, there’s no turning back. Yet, the allure of a life filled with meaning and purpose, away from Instagram and online dating, is tempting. What would you sacrifice for a chance at something extraordinary? This immersive, poignant coming-of-age story invites readers to reflect on the essence of life and the choices we make.

      »Wunderbar vielschichtig und mitreißend erzählt.« Elle Selbst nach Jahrzehnten in London kann André seine Heimat nicht vergessen: Rio de Janeiro und den sonnengetränkten Strand von Ipanema. Besonder verfolgen ihn die Erinnerungen an den Sommer 1985. Es war der Sommer, als seine Mutter starb. Und der Sommer, als er sich in das Dienstmädchen Luana verliebte. Eine geheime, eine unmögliche Liebe. Dreißig Jahre später schreibt Luana ihm einen Brief, und André reist nach Brasilien. Er will sich endlich der Verantwortung stellen, vor der er als junger Mann geflohen war, und muss die schmerzhafte Erfahrung machen, dass manche Versäumnisse endgültig sind.
