What if angels were around us? Would that change anything? It’s about love in Olga Martynova's new novel. About the love between the writer Caspar Waidegger and the young Laura, who is writing her doctoral thesis about him. It raises the question of how free or trapped we are. It’s about Waidegger's disabled daughter. So, it’s about family and responsibility, and the question of what is normal and what is crazy. But it’s also about our past that reaches into the present. About an actress whose daughter is murdered by euthanasia doctors. So, it’s about guilt. And it’s about angels who stare in horror at our cruelty, who puzzle over our actions and cannot protect us. So, it’s about everything in Olga Martynova's new, elegantly written novel. And because everything would be lost without literature, it’s also about that: the miracle of storytelling.
