Letting go - Part One Chapter Three ('Bruno and Anika'), sub-chapter one: In paradise (Saarland)

 Here comes the first sub-chapter of chapter three ('Bruno and Anika') of my forthcoming novel 'Letting go': I 3.1. In paradise (Saarland).

The novel will be published in German (title: "Nicht alle Tage") and potentially later in English. The book tells the story of two couples and their intricate relations. When Feeny, one of the two ladies, is diagnosed with a chronic illness, all relations change. Letting go is about learning how to live the now.

"Letting go is a great novel about hidden facets of a relation between yourself and people that you care for"
(Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Jalid Sehouli, director of the gynecological clinic and tumor centre, Charité, Berlin).
"This novel brings out the importance of the relationship between patient and doctor. It is written from the heart having experienced turbulent but precious times caring for a loved one with cancer." (Prof Jonathan A Lederman, MD FRCP FMedSci, Professor of Medical Oncology, Clinical Director, UCL Cancer Institute, London)
"Written with a light hand it guides into the depth of risky relations, precarious situations and an adventorous journeys. With unusual humor the author describes a longlasting illness. History and geography extend in narration and grow into a European dimension of a liberated experience of the world" (Prof. Dr. Dietmar Mieth, em. Professor for theological ethics, University of Tubingen; founder of the European Society of Catholic Theology; author of "Ketzerflammen in Paris", 2024).
The first vol. will be published before Christmas with Verlag Der Blaue Reiter, Göttingen. Please pre-order the German book (Vol I and II, each ca. EUR 29): info@verlag-derblauereiter.de copyright: Verlag der Blaue Reiter, Göttingen
