When David, a burned-out American math student, drifts into the small North German town of Rendsburg in 1975, he meets Wolfgang Karsten—an English teacher of irrepressible joy—and the sculptor Sabi, whom Wolf loves. Over one luminous summer and a darkening autumn, David is drawn into Wolf's philosophy of life, love, and destiny, culminating in a perilous journey to divided East Berlin and a reckoning with mortality that reshapes David forever. A literary novel woven with a translation of Theodor Storm's *Immensee*.

  • A luminous, unforgettable character—Wolf—whose joy and philosophy stay with readers long after the last page
  • Weaves a classic German novella (Storm's Immensee) into the story as a mirror of the plot
  • Climaxes with the fall of the Berlin Wall, connecting personal destiny to world history
  • A clean, deeply moving meditation on death that comforts without sentimentality
“Life, he once said, consists of how you get to where you're going. If you're too absorbed in the goal, you'll never get there, because you will have missed out on life along the way.”

Perfect for a thoughtful adult reader who enjoys literary, character-driven novels about friendship, mortality, and meaning—especially anyone drawn to German settings, Cold War history, or philosophical reflection.
