Bewegend, klug und mit trockenem Humor: Roadmovie mit Tiefgang »Wie gut sie diesen Mann kennt. Es macht sie ganz verrückt zu sehen, wie sehr er sich verändert hat und wie sehr er doch derselbe geblieben ist.« Kathleen und Yannick haben neunzehn Jahre lang nicht miteinander gesprochen, nicht seit des Streits wegen ihrer Tochter. Nun gibt es Neuigkeiten von anderen Ende Kanadas. Diese Fahrt können sie nur gemeinsam antreten. Zweitausend Meilen wilde Wälder und Berge, grottige Raststätten und ein wackeliger Pick-up: auf diesem Road Trip muss Kathleen erst neu entdecken, was sie alles mit Yannick verbindet. Die beiden fahren und streiten, lachen und erinnern sich: an ihre Liebe, ihre Fehler, ihre eigensinnige Tochter, die komplizierten Ex-Partner und an jene besondere Nähe, die niemals ganz verschwunden ist. »Moon Road« erzählt von altem Schmerz, lang gehegter Hoffnung und der Chance zu lernen, von Grund auf neu zu leben und zu lieben. »Was für ein Geschenk: ein Roman für Erwachsene.« The Times

'An extraordinary, three-century braid of air and water- the way we float, the way we drown, the way we surface again against the odds.' Francis Spufford Three extraordinary lives intertwine across oceans and time On the banks of the River Seine in 1899, a young woman takes her final breath before plunging into the icy water. Although she does not know it, her decision will set in motion an astonishing chain of events. It will lead to 1950s Norway, where a grieving toy-maker is on the cusp of a transformative invention, all the way to present-day Canada where a journalist, battling a terrible disease, risks everything for one last chance to live. Taking inspiration from a remarkable true story, Coming Up for Air is a bold, richly imagined novel about the transcendent power of storytelling and the immeasurable impact of every human life. The legacy of the woman at its heart touches the lives of us all today, and this book reveals just how.
