One day, Andreas Löscher comes across the medical record of a patient whose name is familiar to him: Meret Etter was once the object of an intense love he experienced years ago. She is a woman who participated in the youth riots in Zurich, a lawyer who passionately fought against injustice. Now she lies in the cancer ward, facing a battle of a very different kind. The question arises whether a reunion with Andreas Lüscher, after sixteen years of mutual silence, will ease her situation. And whether it is wise for the two of them to confront the reasons for their silence. In his novel, Urs Faes tells a suggestive, light, and precise story about the struggle with illness, but above all, about the confrontation of two people with themselves and their own past.
