In May, Hanna emails her sister-in-law in Dublin: "Come, your brother is going crazy!" Two days later, Jetti Lenobel arrives in Vienna - and Robert is missing. However, Jetti does not believe that her brother has gone mad. She knows her very unusual Jewish family. In this family, anything can happen. Then comes the message from her brother: "I ask you not to speak to anyone about this! I want it this way. I am in Israel, the land of our fathers. But I am not thinking about the fathers." In the strange, convoluted lives of siblings Jetti and Robert, his wife, their children, and friends, Köhlmeier compellingly tells the story of what each person carries with them throughout their lives.
