Ruth, single, wealthy, and no longer young, spends her time on trivial affairs. When one of her lovers invites her to a weekend seminar in Switzerland with a somewhat dubious luck guru, the mountains awaken in her a longing for elevation, challenge, and danger, prompting her to embark on a long hike. Kathrin, on the other hand, barely younger than Ruth, is a housewife and married, who throws herself headlong into the teachings and promises of success from these seminars, starting an unlikely career as an internet influencer. Simon, her seventeen-year-old son, who seeks real life outside his hometown of Hanover, ultimately finds the state of emergency he has always hoped for amidst the July heat during the G20 riots in Hamburg. Jero, the fourth member of the group, is a mountain guide in the dramatically beautiful mountain world of Switzerland. He leads the intense, fulfilling, and dangerous life that the others yearn for almost casually. Ruth will hire him for a challenging mountain tour. In her new novel, Tina Uebel boldly, humorously, sarcastically, yet also empathetically follows the heroic tales of these four protagonists, who quickly grow dear to the reader with their fears and longings. No one is left unscathed here, and nothing is certain.
